Security Forces Launch Search Ops After Terrorists Open Fire on CRPF Checkpoint in Kulgam
A search operation has been initiated in Kulgam, a district of Jammu and Kashmir, following an attack by motorbike-borne gunmen on a CRPF checkpoint. Three CRPF men sustained injuries in the attack, which occurred on Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
The attack occurred around 2:15 pm near Akhran, near Mir Bazar in South Kashmir. Sources say that the gunmen fired upon security forces positioned at a checkpoint and then fled the spot.
Motorcycle-Borne Assailants Target CRPF Personnel
Based on preliminary information, it is clear that the unidentified men came riding a motorcycle and started shooting at the CRPF forces posted at the security naka.
These security forces have responded to the firing after being fired upon. But unfortunately for them, these men could escape from the spot before more forces could be sent there.
After this incident, security authorities sealed the area and initiated an operation to find out the culprits.
Three CRPF Personnel Injured in the Attack
The injured persons were rushed to the hospital in the neighbouring district of Anantnag for treatment.
As per a news report published by Press Trust of India (PTI), one of the CRPF personnel was critically injured in his abdomen. Two others were relatively lightly wounded, with an injury in their arm and leg.
While the initial reports of the incident varied with the number of injured persons, later reports published by PTI and other news agencies clarified that there were three casualties.
Treatment was offered to the injured personnel as security forces operated in the area.
Search Operation Underway to Trace Attackers
Security agencies are looking into the incident in order to find out who these attackers are. This search operation is being carried out in order to track their movement and ensure that they do not flee from the bigger security ring.
Other barricades and security measures were put in place after the shooting incident took place. People living in that area were also told to be careful as the security forces were carrying out a search.
There has been no official declaration about the group behind this attack.
Security Tightened Across South Kashmir
This has led to heightened concern over the security arrangements in South Kashmir, as the security forces maintain vigil over any militant presence in the area.
Until then, the foremost task is to trace the attackers and ensure the safety of the locals along with the treatment of the CRPF personnel wounded in the attack.
