This is the fourth such gunfight in Kupwara in the last one month.
Earlier on Wednesday, a suspected militant was killed and a non-commissioned officer was injured during a gunfight in the district.
In a post on X, the Army said the exchange was triggered after it launched a joint search operation along with Jammu and Kashmir Police based on a specific input regarding the presence of terrorists on Tuesday.
On July 18, two suspected militants were killed by the security forces in the Kupwara’s Keran sector.
