Terrorists Opened Fire In Kulgam. How Alert CRPF Jawan Averted A Tragedy

The terror attack on a CRPF check post in Jammu and Kashmir's Kulgam district could have been a major tragedy if one of its personnel, who himself was injured, hadn't swiftly counter-fired, forcing the opponents to make a hasty retreat.CCTV footage shows terrorists firing a barrage of bullets at CRPF troopers before the apparently well-planned attack was foiled.At least two terrorists took cover behind a gabion structure, opened fire and managed to escape after their attempts were responded to.Official sources say a prior intelligence alert about a suspected terrorist movement and the swift retaliatory action by a CRPF jawan "helped security forces thwart what could have been a major attack aimed at inflicting heavy casualties".Three CRPF personnel sustained injuries in the attack.
