The army on Sunday foiled an attempt by two Laskhar-e-Tayiba militants to storm its post at Keegam in Kupwara district in Jammu and Kashmir.
Elsewhere in the state, 13 people, six of them ultras, were killed in separate incidents since Saturday evening.
Two ultras belonging to the suicide squad of the Pakistan-based LeT tried to storm an army post of the 10 Madras Regiment early on Sunday morning triggering a gun battle in which both of them were killed.
The militants were identified as Abu Ibrar and Abu Musaib, a defence spokesman said.
An LeT spokesman claimed the two militants were killed after "several hours of gunfight inside the army camp."
The army, however, denied this and said the two were killed outside the camp and there were no casualties on the Indian side.
