The Indian Army and Special Operations Group (SOG) are conducting search operations in Shopian's two villages - Heff and Shirmal.
Around 1,000 army personnel and police force have been deployed for the operation, which began at midnight yesterday.
Meanwhile, repetitive ceasefire violations by Pakistan still continue, wherein yesterday itself the Pakistan Army initiated ceasefire violation in Balakot sector here.
The Indian troops gave a befitting reply to Islamabad's attack.
Earlier on Tuesday, Pakistan Army initiated unprovoked ceasefire violation in Nowshera sector of Jammu and Kashmir.
The Pakistan Army, earlier on Sunday, instigated indiscriminate firing of small arms, automatics, 82 mm and 120 mm mortars along the Line of Control (LoC) in Chiti Bakri area of Rajouri sector in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Indian Army also retaliated to the unprovoked act strongly and effectively.
