Further details are awaited. The incident comes a month after a similar attack was carried out in south Kashmir’s Pulwama district, when one policeman was killed after militants attacked a patrol party. The deceased was among two personnel who sustained injuries during the attack. The injured constables — Abdul Salam and Munir Ahmad — were rushed to a hospital for treatment and their condition was stated to be stable. However, one of them died later. With inputs from PTI
