One SSB jawan killed, 8 hurt in militant attack in Srinagar
Militants fired at the vehicles of Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) which were ferrying the personnel to their camp after performing law and order duties in the city, a security force official said.
One jawan of the SSB was killed and 8 others were injured in the attack, the official said.
The injured, who included a policeman, have been admitted to a hospital for treatment.
Security forces immediately cordoned off the area and launched search operations to track down the militants.
Terrorist organisation Al-umar-Mujahideen (AuM) tonight claimed responsibility for the attack on a paramilitary convoy in Zakura on the outskirts of Srinagar, in which a jawan of paramilitary force SSB was killed and 8 others, including a policeman, were injured.
The outfit also warned of similar attacks on Indian security forces in the coming days.
