Three Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were injured after motorcycle-borne attackers opened fire at a security checkpoint in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kulgam district.
According to initial reports, the attackers fired at the personnel before fleeing the spot. The injured jawans were immediately shifted to a nearby hospital for treatment. While two sustained minor injuries, the third is reported to be in serious condition.
Following the attack, CRPF personnel retaliated, while Quick Reaction Teams were rushed to the location. Security forces cordoned off the area and launched a search operation to track down the attackers.
The checkpoint is located around four kilometres from the National Highway. Security personnel are continuing search operations, while further details about the attackers and the condition of the injured jawans are awaited.
