Militants open indiscriminate firing at CRPF jawans in Pulwama
Pulwama/IBNS: Militants in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district opened fire at the security forces guarding a school on Tuesday, media reports said.
The terrorists rained six to seven rounds of bullets at a CRPF bunker outside a school at Drabgam where an examination was being held, an NDTV report said.
No casualties were reported, the report added.
Both the CRPF and the local police were guarding the examination center.
The security personnel immediately retaliated the attack while additional troops rushed the spot.
The attack on security forces came on a day when ministers of 23 European Union countries are present in Jammu and Kashmir to assess law and order and human rights situation.
This is the first such international visit in the valley after the abrogation of Article 370 and 35A nearly two months ago.
