Earlier an Indian soldier was killed in gunfire few days ago during an attempt by two militants to break through the perimeter (boundary wall) of a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) camp in Srinagar’s Karan Nagar area in Jammu and Kashmir.

The attack came just two days after a group of militants attacked the Indian Army’s Sunjwan camp in Jammu in which five soldiers, a civilian and all four terrorists were killed.

The CRPF confirmed that one soldier had been killed in the exchange of fire, adding the attempt had been thwarted by the sentry who opened fire at the militants. At the time of going to press, the encounter was still on.

The CRPF camp is located close to a police control room as well as the Maharaja Shri Hari Singh Hospital from where LeT militant Naveed Jutt escaped on 6 February.
