Srinagar, June 3: Two jawans were killed and four others injured when militants attacked an Army convoy on the Srinagar-Jammu national highway in south Kashmir’s Kulgam district Saturday. The militants attacked the convoy near Lower Munda toll post in Qazigund area of the district, 100 km from here, injuring six army personnel, an army official said. He said the injured were evacuated to Army’s 92 base hospital here where two jawans succumbed to their injuries. The other four are being treated, the official said. He said a hunt is underway to nab the attackers.
Meanwhile, the Indian Army Saturday denied the Pakistan Army’s claim that it killed five Indian soldiers along the Line of Control. The Indian Army said a statement by the Inter Services Public Relations, the Pakistan military’s media wing, was “wrong”. The ISPR had said earlier the Pakistan Army killed five Indian soldiers and injured many others in retaliation after the Indian Army “violated ceasefire” along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir.
