JAMMU - A Hizbul Mujahideen militant was killed in an encounter with security forces in Jammu and Kashmir’s Reasi district today. Two special police officers were also injured in the incident.

Acting on a tip off, troops cordoned off the Arnaf area in the district, which is 130 kms from Jammu, late Friday night.

Militants fired on a party of Rashtriya Rifles troops who retaliated.
