Officials stated that both personnel sustained multiple close-range gunshot wounds, and their service weapons were found missing from the scene. A massive joint search and destroy operation involving quick reaction teams from the Indian Army, CRPF, and Jammu and Kashmir Police has been launched across the rugged forest terrain to track down the assailants.
The incident occurred alongside a security alert in South Kashmir following an attack on a CRPF checkpost in Kulgam that left three personnel injured.
