Suicide attackers killed by Indian paramilitary force in Jammu, Kashmir
(KUNA) -- Indian security forces killed two suicide attackers who stormed the battalion headquarters of the country's key paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) near Srinagar, summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir early Thursday. "The operation is over and both the attackers have been killed," Inspector General of CRPF SK Singh told Indo-Asian News Service at Srinagar.
Six CRPF personnel were injured in the nearly two-hour-long encounter and have been taken to hospital. Singh said two suicide attackers hurled grenades and fired bullets at a sentry post of the CRPF battalion headquarters morning. "While one attacker was killed near the sentry post, the other was killed in the camp," he said.
No separatist guerrilla group has yet claimed responsibility for today's attack, the news agency said. This was the first suicide attack in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir this year.
