Terrorists Attack Non-Local Labourers in Jammu and Kashmir's Kulgam, One Dead
Suspected terrorists opened fire on two non-local labourers at a brick kiln in the Kellam area of Kulgam district, Jammu and Kashmir, killing one and injuring another. The deceased, identified as Deepak Ratray from Chhattisgarh, died before reaching the hospital, while the injured worker, Bopinder, was hospitalized for advanced treatment. Security forces cordoned off the area and launched a search operation. The attack follows recent militant violence in the region, including the killing of a police officer in Anantnag less than ten days earlier. Investigations are ongoing, with some reports suggesting religious profiling of victims.
