The encounter also left several terrorists severely wounded during the fierce exchange of fire.
The slain commanders were identified as Abu Nazir, the Munzir of Juye, and Abu Fatima, the Munzir of Koloram.
The troops recovered four motorcycles from the terrorists after the attack.
However, an armoured vehicle (MRAP) belonging to the troops was set ablaze by the fleeing insurgents.
