Unidentified attackers on a motorcycle opened fire at a security checkpoint in Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday afternoon.
Two Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel sustained injuries after unidentified assailants on a motorcycle opened fire at a checkpoint in the Kulgam district of Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday, according to reports from ANI and The Hindu.
The shooting occurred at approximately 2:15 pm near Mir Bazar in the Nowpora, Akhran area. The attackers used automatic rifles before fleeing the scene.
One of the injured officers suffered minor wounds, while the other was critically wounded, India TV reported. The victims were moved to the Government Medical College in Anantnag for medical attention, though officials are making arrangements to transfer them to a military hospital.
Security forces have cordoned off the area and are conducting a search for the attackers. Further details regarding the incident are currently awaited.
In a separate incident last month in Chhattisgarh, four CRPF officers were injured during an IED blast while they were defusing explosives at the Alarmedgu camp in Sukma district.
