Early Times Report

Srinagar, Oct 24: Two porters working with the Army were martyred on Thursday while four people, including three soldiers, were injured as terrorists attacked a vehicle of the force six kilometres from tourist hotspot Gulmarg in north Kashmir, agencies quoted officials as having said.
They said the terrorists opened fire on the Army vehicle in the Bota Pathri area in the evening, when it was headed for the Nagin post in the Afrawat range.
Citing initial reports, the officials said two porters were martyred while another porter and three soldiers were injured.
The condition of two of the injured soldiers was stated to be critical and additional troops have been rushed to the area, they said.
The officials said the soldiers who were in the vehicle opened retaliatory fire when they came under attack.
The Army's Srinagar-based Chinar Corps said in a post on X, "A brief firefight took place between #IndianArmy and terrorists in general area Bota Pathri, #Baramulla."
"Details are being ascertained," it said.
The area is completely dominated by the Army and there have been reports in the past that a terrorist group had infiltrated during early summer and taken shelter in the higher reaches of the Afrawat range, the officials said. The Bota Pathri area was recently opened to tourists.
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said the recent spate of attacks in the Valley was a matter of serious concern. "Very unfortunate news about the attack on the army vehicles in the Bota Pathri area of North Kashmir which has resulted in some casualties and injuries. This recent spate of attacks in Kashmir is a matter of serious concern," he said in a post on X.
"I condemn this attack in the strongest possible terms and send my condolences to the loved ones of the people who lost their lives. I also pray that the injured make a complete and swift recovery," he said.
Former chief minister and People's Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti also condemned the attack. "Shocked and deeply saddened by the militant attack on an Army convoy in Baramulla in which a civilian porter was killed. Condemn it unequivocally and pray for the swift recovery of the injured soldiers," she posted on X.
The attack on the Army vehicle comes amid a spike in terror incidents in the Valley.
In a deadly attack on Sunday, five non-local labourers, a local doctor and an architect from Jammu were killed when terrorists fired indiscriminately upon them at the Z-Morh tunnel construction site in the Gagangir area of central Kashmir's Ganderbal district.
Earlier on Thursday, terrorists shot at and injured a labourer from Uttar Pradesh, Shubam Kumar, in the Tral area of Pulwama district.
