A total of seven Hizbul terrorists were gunned down in separate encounters in south Kashmir's Kulgam. Two Army soldiers, including an elite Para commando, also lost their lives in these encounters.

The gun battles in Kulgam took place at a time when there is heightened security across the J&K due to the ongoing Amarnath yatra that started on July 29 from the twin tracks of the Nunwan-Pahalgam route in Anantnag district and the Baltal route in Ganderbal district.
