Srinagar, November 11, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Three Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were injured in a terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kulgam district on Wednesday after two motorcycle-borne assailants opened fire at a CRPF party and fled.
According to official sources, the attack took place around 2.15 pm in the Akhran area near Mir Bazar. Panic gripped the locality following the firing, and a general alert was sounded across Kulgam and adjoining areas to trace the attackers.
The injured personnel, belonging to the CRPF’s 46th Battalion, were shifted to Anantnag Medical College Hospital for treatment, an official said.
Security forces, including the Army, CRPF and Jammu and Kashmir Police, cordoned off the area and launched a search operation. Senior officers from the three forces also reached the spot to supervise the operation. Further details were awaited.
The attack comes after a period without a reported terrorist strike in the district since July 31, when terrorists killed two labourers in the Kelam area of Kulgam.
Following that attack, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah announced an ex gratia payment of Rs 10 lakh for the next of kin of each victim, while the administration provided an additional Rs 6 lakh in relief to the families.
