Two militants killed, five CRPF jawans injured in highway attack

Two attackers were quickly neutralised in the retaliatory action, sources said.

Pampore: CRPF soldiers’ death toll reaches 8 with 24 other injured in the recent terror attack in Pampore, Kashmir says the CRPF Spokesperson.

“Eight of our men have been martyred including a sub-inspector”, CRPF DIG KK Sharma said.

“The clash flared up in Shiwa area of Arghanjkha district on Friday and lasted for hours during which eight Taliban rebels and three police personnel had been killed”, Kamawal told Xinhua.

Shortly after the operation, between Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Lashkar-e-Toiba operatives, ended today evening, while speaking to reporters Basit said, “I have already said what I think about the relationship between India and Pakistan”.

The suspected LeT terrorists sprayed a bus carrying the personnel of 161battalion of CRPF with bullets at Frestbal, 14 km from Srinagar, officials said.

As soon as the two terrorists were eliminated, evacuation process was carried out and the injured CRPF personnel were rushed to Army’s base hospital. They served the nation with utmost dedication.

“Following the attack, CRPF men also fired in retaliation, killing two militants, believed to be the attackers, on the spot”.

Azad, a former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, extended his heartfelt condolences to the families of the troopers.

Violence in Kashmir has spiked against a backdrop of rising social tension and separatist sentiment in the Muslim-majority region, which for decades has been at the centre of a strategic tussle between India and Pakistan.

While expressing solidarity with the bereaved families of the security forces personnel, she prayed for early recovery of the injured.
