Terrorists open fire on CRPF personnel in Kulgam district of south Kashmir, injuring three security personnel, sources across India’s media report. Multiple outlets say the attackers are motorcycle-borne and flee after firing, prompting security forces to launch a cordon and search operation near Mir Bazar.
Several reports reference CCTV footage showing the gunfire and the immediate response by CRPF personnel. NDTV and others describe rapid firing—some say nearly 30 rounds in about 15 seconds—while India Today and other outlets foreground the presence of CCTV capturing the attack. Times of India adds detail about jawans scrambling for cover and notes the injured are taken to hospital.
Outlets also cite a defence expert’s interpretation of the incident as a “shoot-and-scoot” style operation. Overall, reporting is consistent on the time frame, the location around a CRPF camp/checkpoint near Mir Bazar, the number of injured, and the subsequent search, while emphasis and specific descriptive details vary between outlets.
