Jammu and Kashmir terror attack: Three CRPF personnel injured after terrorists open fire at camp

An attack targeting a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) checkpoint in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kulgam district left three personnel injured on Wednesday after armed assailants travelling on motorcycles opened fire, officials confirmed. One of the injured personnel remains in critical condition, reported PTI.

The incident occurred at approximately 2:15 pm near Mir Bazar, where the attackers launched their assault before fleeing the scene. Security forces subsequently sealed off the surrounding area and initiated an extensive search operation to track down those responsible.

Following the exchange of gunfire, the injured personnel were rushed to a hospital in Anantnag district for emergency treatment. One trooper sustained serious injuries to his abdomen and is reported to be critical. The other two suffered comparatively minor injuries, with one receiving a bullet graze to his arm and another sustaining a gunshot wound to his foot.


Footage emerging from the incident site showed the injured CRPF personnel being transported into the hospital on stretchers as medical teams hurried to provide immediate assistance.

Security arrangements across the area were significantly intensified in the aftermath of the attack. Additional barricades were erected, while armed personnel in armoured vehicles were deployed near the checkpoint as reinforcements arrived. Ambulance sirens could be heard in the vicinity, alongside loudspeaker announcements urging residents to remain indoors as security operations continued.

Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha was also present in Kulgam on Wednesday. However, officials clarified that he was not in the vicinity of the location where the attack took place.
