The security personnel have killed more than 10 militants, though the exact number has yet to be officially declared.

On Tuesday, the Pakistani Army fired shot violating the ceasefire agreement with India. The Indian Army also retaliated. On the same day, another gun battle was reported from the state's Handwara area. Four or five militants are believed be involved, and one soldier has reportedly been injured. The incidents comes only three days after militants attacked an Army base in Uri on September 18. The incident left 18 soldiers dead.
