A civilian and one security guard were injured after two terrorists barged into a bank and opened fire in south Kashmir's Kulgam district on Friday.
The terrorists forced their entry into the Mohamadpora branch of Jammu and Kashmir Bank in an alleged attempt to loot cash.
However, the bank guard opened fire to stop them. According to reports, the gunmen retaliated by firing their guns, injuring two people including the bank guard.
The two injured were taken to Kulgam district hospital for treatment.
While the civilian, identified as Ashiq Hussain, sustained a bullet injury in his hand, the bank guard suffered a bullet injury to his leg.
Meanwhile, a search operation is still underway.
Further details in the incident are awaited.
