Four terrorists were killed on Monday in retaliatory fire by security forces as they attempted to attack a CRPF camp at Sumbal in Bandipora district of Jammu and Kashmir.
The heavily armed terrorists tried to enter the camp of 45 Battalion CRPF at Sumbal in Bandipora at around 4.10 am after opening fire at the sentry post, a police official said.
He said the firing was retaliated to by the guards even as police reinforcements were rushed to the scene of gun battle.
“Four terrorists were killed in the retaliatory firing and the suicide attack was foiled,” the official said.
He said four AK rifles, one UBGL (Underbarrel Grenade Launcher) and some ammunition were recovered from the slain terrorists.
Confirming the incident, J&K DGP Shesh Paul Vaid tweeted, ‘5 Bn @crpfindia/@JmuKmrPolice killed 4 terrorists at Sumbal #Bandipore who were attempting suicidal attack on CRPF camp. #JaiHind.’
