In the ensuing gunfight, three militants were killed. “Three terrorists killed. Incriminating materials including arms & ammunition recovered. Search going on,” police quoting IGP Kashmir Vijay Kumar said.

Earlier six top Jaish-e-Mohommad militants including two Pakistani nationals and a soldier were killed in two separate encounters in south Kashmir. 

During the search, forces recovered US-made M4 carbine. The weapon is presently used by a lot of armies including NATO. M4 is also used by Pakistani Special Forces, the Special Services Group (SSG).

The M4 is the advanced carbine version of the old M16 rifle used by the US Army in Vietnam. The M4 is shorter in length and more effective than the M16. M16 is a 1960 vintage, while M4 carbine is a 1990 vintage.
