The Jammu & Kashmir police said they began a search operation based on specific input about the presence of militants in the area, which then turned into an encounter.
The incident occurred when a camp of United Liberation of Bodoland (ULB), a militant group formed earlier this week, was busted during an operation Friday, police said.
The security forces had launched a search following reports about the presence of militants in the district that turned into an encounter after the militants opened fire at them.
According to police records, Adil Ahmad Bhat and Zahid Ahmad Rather were involved in several terror crime cases, including attacks on security forces and civilian atrocities.
Militants opened fire on security forces during a cordon and search operation Tuesday evening, which led to an exchange of fire through the night, an official said.
The encounter started after the vehicle of the terrorists was intercepted by security forces personnel near a toll plaza on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway.

Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
