In two separate encounters in Jammu and Kashmir on Friday, 31 May, at least five militants were neutralised by police forces.

In south Kashmir's Shopian district, two Hizb-ul-Mujahideen militants and their "active associate" were killed after security forces launched a cordon and search operation in Dragad Sugan area.

The two militants were identified as Abid Manzoor Magray alias Sajju Tiger, a resident of Nowpora Payeeen Pulwama, and Bilal Ahmad Bhat from Urmulla Lassipora Pulwama.

The other person who was part of the group was identified as Jasim Rashid Shah, a resident of Malnar, Shopian.
