The officials said it was a “major operational success”.
“Hybrid militants” are those who are not listed as ultras but are radicalised enough to carry out a terror strike and then slip back into routine life.
Giving details of the operation, the officials said security forces launched a cordon and search operation (CASO) on Wednesday night in the Baskuchan area of Poonch following specific input.
“The area was effectively cordoned and the movement of terrorists was observed in a nearby orchard. Swift and strategic action by the forces led to the successful surrender of two LeT hybrid terrorists, averting a potential encounter,” they said.
The two were identified as Irfan Bashir and Uzair Salam, they added.
