One separatist guerrilla of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) was on Friday killed in an ongoing gun battle in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district, police said.
A senior police officer said paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) troopers and police surrounded a house in Andrus (khew) village of Pulwama, 14 km from Srinagar, following information about presence of guerrillas inside the house.
"The hold-up militants were asked to surrender but they opened fire at the troops triggering a gun battle," the police officer said.
One militant, identified as Altaf of LeT, was killed while the others were still firing at the surrounding troops.
This gun battle comes a day after a 23-hour-long gunfight between guerrillas and security forces in city centre Lal Chowk in Srinagar. Four people were killed and 10 injured in the earlier incident.
