Times Now says Army Major Bhanu Pratap was killed in the encounter while two jawans of 43 Rashtriya Rifles were wounded.

Two policemen were also wounded in the firing.

On Saturday, in one of the deadliest attacks on security forces since India and Pakistan started a peace process in January 2004, at least 10 soldiers were killed and 14 injured when Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists triggered a landmine as an Army bus packed with soldiers passed over it at Narbal along the strategic Srinagar-Baramulla Highway.
