Policeman injured in Anantnag militant attack

A policeman was injured on Friday in a militant attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag town, police said.

Militants entered a municipal building in Anantnag in the afternoon and fired at the security guards of the Municipal Committee chairman.

"The security guard injured in the firing was shifted to hospital. The area has been cordoned off for search operations," a police officer said.

It was not clear immediately whether the intention of the militants was to attack the guard or they were looking for some high value target inside the complex.
