Terrorists fire at CRPF checkpost in Kulgam, three injured

12/11/2026
Srinagar, Nov 11: Two heavily armed terrorists emerged from a dense cluster of trees and opened fire at a Central Reserve Police Force post in Jammu and Kashmir's Kulgam district on Wednesday, injuring three CRPF personnel, one of them critically, officials said. The two men disappeared into the forested area after the attack that took place around 2.15 pm near Mir Bazar, about 75 km from Srinagar and just a kilometre from the strategic Jammu-Srinagar National Highway, they said. Initial reports suggested that the terrorists came on a motorcycle. However, ground verification during joint search operations by the Army and security agencies established that no two-wheeler was involved. Recapping what happened, officials said two men approached the checkpost on foot from a forested area about 50 metres away. One opened fire while his associate provided cover. Both terrorists fled on foot towards Naupur through the same tree line, they said. "The area has dense vegetation resembling a ...
