The Kulgam Terror Attack:
Three Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel from the 46 Battalion were injured when motorcycle-borne terrorists opened close-range fire at a security checkpoint in Kulgam district of Jammu and Kashmir.
- The Kulgam Terror Attack is a coordinated, hit-and-run terror ambush targeting a stationary paramilitary checkpost in south Kashmir, executed on the same day the Lieutenant-Governor visited the district to inaugurate a cultural festival.
- Motorcycle-borne militants fired roughly 30 rounds in 15 seconds at close range before fleeing, captured on local CCTV surveillance.
- Constables Rakesh Dass and Santosh Chandru, along with Head Constable Somveer Singh, sustained bullet injuries; the critically wounded jawan was airlifted to Badamibagh Army Hospital in Srinagar.
- Reinforcements, armored vehicles, and cordon-and-search operations were immediately launched across south Kashmir to seal exit routes.
