Jammu, Dec 16 (TIWN) Two local youths were killed and another injured in firing by unidentified gunmen in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district.

Officials said bodies of two local youths were found this morning outside an army camp near the TCP Alfa gate, 5 kilometres ahead of Rajouri town.

Another local youth was injured in this incident, police said, adding that it was being investigated whether the firing was because of mistaken identity.
