Three Central Reserve Police Force jawans were killed when their vehicle was attacked by militants in Jammu and Kashmir’s Sopore. This was the second attack on the CRPF since last night.

The terrorists fired at a check post that was jointly being manned by troops of CRPF’s 179th battalion and the Jammu and Kashmir Police, said officials.

This is the third attack against the paramilitary force in the Kashmir valley within a week.

A CRPF trooper was injured on Friday after terrorists fired at a similar check post in Pulwama.
