“At around 5 AM, militants opened firing on an army camp at Langate in Kupwara district, which was retaliated by the alert jawans,” an army official had told PTI. “There was firing once again on the camp at 6:30 AM as the forces were conducting the search operation,” the official later said. Additional forces have been rushed to the area, he said.

The third attack targeting Army camps in Kashmir, in recent days, this has raised serious concerns over the security of our jawans at the border.
