Terrorists attacked near a camp of the 46 Rashtriya Rifles in Baramulla late on Sunday night.

The terrorists, who tried to enter through a public park near the army camp, were not to breach the camp.

Heavy exchange of fire between the army and the terrorists has been reported.

Former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir Omar Abdullah tweeted: "Colleagues in Baramulla town are phoning with reports of massive gunfire in their vicinity. Prayers for all in the area."

The India Army had conducted surgical strikes on Pakistani terror launch pads on the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday.

Further details awaited.
