An INSAS rifle, a self-loading rifle, three pistols, a gun and two grenades were recovered from the dead men.
"An army unit raided a remote location on Thursday night. They spotted some suspicious movement. The militants fired at the forces, leading to a gun battle on Friday," Deuri said.
The KPLT-S is a splinter group of KPLT. The group is involved in several extortion activities in and around Karbi Anglong district.
