The attack in south Kashmir came a week after eight CRPF jawans were killed and 20 others injured on Saturday in a militant ambush on a convoy in Pampore town, also in Pulwama district, the highest single-incident casualty in three years in the state.
A police official said the Central Reserve Police Forcer(CRPF) personnel repulsed the attack by the terrorists at the camp in Litter, about 35 km from Srinagar. Four jawans were injured, the official added.
The exchange of fire lasted 10 minutes after the terrorists hurled three grenades, he said.
There were reports of another attack at Karimabad, also in Pulwama district, but police said it was only an incident of firecrackers being burst. A incident was also reported at Bonera but there was no clarity yet.
The attack at Litter happened on a day when Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh chaired a high level meeting in Srinagar to review the security situation in J and K in the wake of recent spurt in militant attacks including the deadly Pampore strike.
