Three Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were injured on Wednesday when motorcycle-borne terrorists opened fire at a security checkpoint in the Kulgam district of Jammu and Kashmir, according to reports by Hindustan Times and India Today.
The attack occurred at approximately 2:15pm at a naka located about 4 km from the National Highway. The attackers fled the scene after the shooting.
The injured jawans have been identified as Head Constable Somveer Singh and Constables Rakesh Dass and Santosh Chandru. One officer is in serious condition with a gunshot wound to the abdomen, while the other two sustained non-life-threatening injuries, including a bullet graze to the arm and a shot to the foot.
The injured personnel were moved to a hospital in the neighbouring Anantnag district for medical treatment. The CRPF stated that they are providing the best possible care to the wounded.
Security forces have cordoned off the area and launched a search operation to apprehend the perpetrators. Reinforcements and armoured vehicles were deployed to the site, and authorities have directed local residents to stay indoors.
Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha was in the Kulgam district on Wednesday, but officials confirmed he was not near the location of the attack.
