Three security officers were wounded when gunmen wielding a firearm targeted a CRPF checkpoint in Jammu and Kashmir's Kulgam district on Wednesday afternoon, prompting an extensive manhunt. The assault occurred around 2:15pm at Akhran near Mir Bazar, situated roughly four kilometers from the National Highway. According to officials, the assailants approached on a motorcycle and commenced firing upon CRPF personnel stationed at a security checkpoint, colloquially referred to as a "naka," before dispersing.
The injured were promptly transported to a hospital in the nearby Anantnag district for medical attention, though their condition remained unspecified. While certain early reports cited three casualties, other accounts corroborated by the CRPF indicated two injuries. A subsequent investigation revealed that two terror suspects had been apprehended three days prior in the same region.
Security forces subsequently initiated a search operation to track down the gunmen. However, no militant group had officially asserted responsibility for the attack.
