The incident occurred at the Bemina Bypass.
According to reports, suspected militants fired indiscriminately on an army vehicle, which was part of a convoy moving towards Hyperpora on the Pathchowk-Parimpora bypass of Jammu and Kashmir.
“Our convoy was attacked by militants leaving two army jawans injured who were shifted to hospital for treatment,” said an army official told IBNS in Srinagar.
The firing created panic among the people who rushed to safety. The traffic on the bypass has been stopped after the attack.
