Terrorists open fire at a police post in Jamnageri area in Shopian district of Jammu and Kashmir, killing one policeman and leaving policemen and a civilian injured.

Yesterday, three Pakistani terrorists were eliminated after they attacked a camp at Langate in Kupwara district, confirmed Commanding Officer of the 30 Rashtriya Rifles Colonel Rajiv Saharan.

Three AK-47 rifles, two UBGL launchers, three GPS, four radio search, maps and metric sheet, and medicines were recovered from them.

When asked about how they identified the terrorists, Colonel Saharan said, "The medicines recovered have 'made in Pakistan' markings on them, this ascertains that these three terrorists were from Pakistan."

The attack comes days after terrorists attacked a Bolder Security Force (BSF) and adjoining camps in Baramulla district, where one BSF soldier was killed in the attack.

The attack also comes after the Indian Army conducted surgical strikes and destroyed seven terror launch pads across the Line of Control (LoC), last week.

Last month, the terrorists had attacked the army brigade headquarters at Uri, killing 19 soldiers.
