A large quantity of "war-like stores," including one AK and one M4 rifle were also recovered, the Army's White Knight Corps said on Saturday in a post on X.

"In the ongoing operations at #Chhatru, Kishtwar, despite bad and inclement weather, two more Pakistani terrorists have been eliminated," the post read.
