Militants attack security convoys

Srinagar: Militants ambushed security convoys at two places and made an abortive bid to blow up a CRPF picket on Sunday, official sources said.

The convoy of the Rashtriya Rifles was fired upon by militants at Spurnag in Handwara area of Kupwara district.

However, no one was injured in the ensuing encounter, the sources added.

The convoy was on its way to a forward area from Baramulla, they said, adding that several BSF vehicles were also passing through the village at the time of the attack.

The whole area was immediately cordoned off and a hunt was launched to nab the ultras . — PTI
