The targeted attack on the migrant worker comes a day after four soldiers were killed in action and two others injured in an attack on an army camp in Rajouri district.
This was the first Fidayeen or suicide attack on an army camp in Jammu and Kashmir since February 2018, when terrorists attacked the Sunjwan camp in Jammu region.
"Army chief General Manoj Pande and all ranks salute the supreme sacrifice of the soldiers who laid down their lives in the line of duty in Rajouri and offer deepest condolences to the bereaved families," an army spokesperson had tweeted yesterday.
Last week, Mohammad Mumtaz, a migrant worker from Bihar, was killed and two others were injured during a terrorist attack in Pulwama.
The injured labourers, Mohammad Arif and Mohammad Maqbool, were also from Bihar.
