Srinagar, Oct 14, 2016 : One killed and eight jawans from the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) have been injured in a "hit-and-run" attack in Zakura on the outskirts of Srinagar. The gunmen have escaped and the area has been cordoned off. The soldiers of the paramilitary force are out of danger, said sources.
After India carried out surgical strikes across the Line of Control on September 29, security forces in the Kashmir Valley have confronted large attacks by Pakistani terrorists. Earlier this week, two members of the Lashkar-e-Taiba were killed, three days after they attacked a government compound in Pampore, 15 km from Srinagar. The Lashkar operatives hid in the institute and threw grenades in the lengthy assault.
