Srinagar (NVI): A Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawan was injured after terrorists opened fire outside a paramilitary camp at Nehama area of South Kashmir’s Kulgam district tonight, security officials said.
Assistant Commandant and CRPF spokesman (operations) Kashmir, Junaid Khan told NVI that the militants fired at some CRPF men outside their camp in Nehama late today. “The militants fired upon the CRPF men who were outside the camp in which one CRPF man was injured,” he said.
He said the injured CRPF man was shifted to the hospital where his condition is stated to be stable.
Officials said the injured soldier was out of danger as the bullet hit him in the foot.
