The encounter in Awantipora's Goripora area comes close of the heels of one in South Kashmir's Shopian district on Wednesday, in which four terrorists from the Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind group were killed.

The men killed included a top commander of the group.

These operations are taking place in the backdrop of a nationwide lockdown imposed to battle the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, which has sickened over 400 people in Jammu and Kashmir.

As many as 92 have recovered, and five are dead.
