BSF camp near Srinagar airport attacked, two militants killed, three jawans injured; JeM claims responsibility.
Tuesday, October 3, 2017 IST
Gunfire and explosions rang out of a paramilitary complex close to Srinagar airport on Tuesday morning after an attack by militants, according to police that later said two of the gunmen had been killed while forces engaged the others.
“One militant has been killed and three jawans have been injured,” said inspector general Muneer Khan, adding that at least two more militants were seen to have been hiding inside a building.
Around an hour later, police sources said another militant had been killed.
“The residential quarters of BSF is safe”
Militant group Jaish e Mohammed claimed the attack on the Border Security Force facility, which comes a little over a month after an identical incident in the state capital’s police lines on August 26 when 8 security personnel were killed by the outfit.
An Indian Air Force base and a CRPF camp are situated close to where the attack took place. Morning flights out of the airport were cancelled, and staff and passengers were initially stopped at Humhama chowk a few kilometres before the entrance.
