Terrorists attack police party in J&K's Anantnag, 6 personnel martyred

Five policemen, including a Station House Officer (SHO), were martyred after terrorists ambushed a police party in Achabal town in Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag district on Friday.

The SHO identified as Sub Inspector Feroz, a resident of Pulwama, fell victim to indiscriminate firing from militants, senior police officials said.

They said besides the fatalities, some other policemen sustained serious bullet injuries and were rushed to a nearby hospital.

A counter-operation is currently underway to nab the terrorists.

The incident was the latest in a series of attacks by terrorists on security forces across Kashmir.
