Srinagar | Nov, 11: Top brass of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) on Wednesday briefed the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir following a terror attack on a checkpoint in South Kashmir’s Kulgam district that left three personnel injured, sources said.
A high-level meeting assessed the ground situation and reviewed recent security developments across the region. Security agencies examined the circumstances surrounding the firing and tracked the potential movement of motorcycle-borne attackers who opened fire at CRPF personnel deployed on naka duty before escaping. Officials said three CRPF personnel sustained firearm injuries, with the condition of one jawan described as critical. The strike comes against the backdrop of a relative lull of a few months in the area.
The region had previously witnessed selective strikes earlier this year, reports said. On July 22, 2026, a 35-year-old policeman, Aashiq Hussain Qureshi, on Amarnath Yatra security duty at Lal Chowk in Anantnag, was shot dead by terrorists. Shortly after, on July 31, 2026, terrorists opened fire on two migrant labourers from Chhattisgarh at Kellam village in Kulgam, killing both Deepak Ratray and Bhupinder, officials added.
