According to the sources, the troops encountered suspected terrorists riding on a motorcycle and immediately engaged them.
The terrorists reportedly fled the scene under pressure from the troops, abandoning their motorcycle and a mobile phone during the encounter.
No casualties were reported among the troops.
The recovered items have been taken into military custody for further investigation and exploitation.
