An Indian army vehicle was attacked in Jammu and Kashmir’s Gulmarg on Thursday evening, injuring 2 soldiers. Terrorists opened fire on the vehicle in the Botapathri area, PTI reported, citing unidentified officials.
The attack comes just hours after terrorists shot at and injured a labourer in the Batgund Tral area of Pulwama district.
The injured labourer has been identified as Pritam Singh, a resident of Uttar Pradesh. Security personnel reached the area after receiving information about the incident. This was the third attack on non-local labourers in Kashmir in the past week.
Earlier in the day, several political leaders condemned the terror attacks in the Kashmir valley since the formation of the new government and urged it to take decisive steps to prevent such incidents and ensure the security of migrant workers.
On October 20, a doctor and six construction workers were killed when terrorists attacked a tunnel construction site on the Srinagar-Leh national highway in the Ganderbal district.
