Attackers reportedly fired at a checkpoint in South Kashmir before fleeing on a motorcycle.
Three Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were injured in a terror attack at a checkpoint in the Kulgam district of Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday, according to The Tribune and The Indian Express.
The Indian Express reported that the attack targeted a checkpoint in the Mirbazar area, while The Tribune stated the firing took place at a naka party at Akhran.
Officials said the attackers are believed to have arrived on a bike, opened fire, and then fled the scene. The area has been cordoned off and a massive hunt is underway for the attackers.
The incident occurred while Lt Governor Manoj Sinha was in Kulgam to attend the Vaishaw festival.
This follows a previous terror attack in Kulgam on July 31, when two migrant labourers were killed. On July 22, a policeman was killed in the neighbouring Anantnag town.
Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kashmir Sujit Kumar recently said a local terrorist has been operating in parts of South Kashmir and has allegedly orchestrated attacks in Anantnag and Kulgam with support from foreign terrorists.
