"Elements inimical to Jammu and Kashmir's interests are desperate to subvert peace efforts. We condemn the militant attack on BSF vehicle," Mehbooba said.
Immediately after the attack, the Chief Minister spoke to BSF DG K K Sharma and expressed anguish and sorrow over the death of BSF personnel in the attack.
"Such senseless attack is a desperate attempt...To derail peace efforts of the government and subvert the rejuvenating economic activity in the state," she said in a statement.
She said such "dastardly attacks and senseless killings" have only brought miseries to the people and tragedies for the victims' families, both security forces personnel and civilians.
"The only purpose of such gory acts seems to be to keep the turmoil in the state on and the latest attack is again aimed at vitiating the atmosphere," she said.
In yet another broad daylight ambush, Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists today attacked a BSF convoy killing three personnel and injuring nine others near Bijbehara on Srinagar-Jammu national highway.
