Srinagar, March 18: Two separatist guerrillas were killed on Friday in an ongoing gunfight between security forces and rebels in north Kashmir's Kupwara district, police said.

"Security forces surrounded a house in Beigh Mohalla (Rajward Bala) area in Kupwara district today (Friday) morning," a senior police officer told IANS here.
