2 migrant labourers shot by terrorists in J&K's Kulgam, 1 killed, another injured

One migrant labourer was killed and another sustained serious injuries after suspected terrorists opened fire on them at a brick kiln in the Kellam area of south Kashmir's Kulgam district on Friday evening.

Officials said that the terrorists targeted two non-local labourers working at the brick kiln in Kelam late in the evening. Authorities immediately shifted both victims for treatment.

Following the attack, security forces rushed to the spot, cordoned off the area, and launched a search operation to track down the attackers.



Further details of the incident are awaited.

The attack comes less than ten days after terrorists shot dead a police officer in Anantnag town.

Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha condemned the terror attack and said he had spoken to Director General of Police Nalin Prabhat and other senior security officials following the incident.

"I strongly condemn this cowardly act. I have directed our security forces to step up their operations and eliminate the terrorists," Sinha said in a post on X.
