Two migrants from Uttar Pradesh were shot at by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Budgam on Friday. Their condition is said to be stable. They were working on Jal Jeewan Project in Budgam.
The incident is the latest in a series of terror attacks in the Union territory in recent months. Earlier this week, terrorists belonging to Pakistan-sponsored Jaish-e-Mohammed had attacked an ambulance in an Indian Army convoy in J&K's Akhnoor sector.
The security forces eliminated three terrorists in counter-terror operations.
According to a PTI report, the terrorists were planning a major strike, utilising the Akhnoor route traditionally used by operatives of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terror group.
According to intelligence reports, the terrorists entered the Akhnoor region through the Battal area, and a wireless set seized from them confirmed their association with the JeM.
On October 24, two Army soldiers and two civilian porters were killed after terrorists attacked a military vehicle in Baramulla.
Earlier on October 20, a doctor and six construction workers were killed when terrorists attacked a tunnel construction site on the Srinagar-Leh national highway in Ganderbal district.
