A policeman was killed in a suspected terrorist attack in south Kashmir on Wednesday. The incident occurred when suspected terrorists fired at policemen near Lal Chowk in Anantnag, resulting in the injury of one officer. The injured policeman, identified as Ashiq Hussain, was immediately shifted to hospital in a critical condition.
Unfortunately, he succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment. The attack has been confirmed by police sources, who are currently investigating the incident. Following the attack, a joint team of police and paramilitary forces cordoned off the area to track the attackers.
Additional reinforcements of police and paramilitary forces have been deployed to the area to ensure the situation is brought under control. This incident marks the first suspected terror attack in the Valley since the Pahalgam terror attack on tourists in April last year.
