Srinagar, Apr 1 (IBNS): Heavily armed militants attacked an army convoy near Srinagar on Saturday afternoon, leaving two army jawans wounded, Indian army sources said.

The incident occurred at the Bemina Bypass. 


According to reports, suspected militants fired indiscriminately on an army vehicle, which was part of a convoy moving towards Hyperpora on the Pathchowk-Parimpora bypass of Jammu and Kashmir.

“Our convoy was attacked by militants leaving two army jawans injured who were shifted to hospital for treatment,” said an army official told IBNS in Srinagar.

The firing created panic among the people who rushed to safety. The traffic on the bypass has been stopped after the attack.

Soon after the firing, forces have started door to door searches for the attackers.
