Unidentified terrorists once again targeted two migrant workers hailing from Uttar Pradesh in the central Kashmir district of Budgam late Friday evening.
According to preliminary reports, two workers who have been identified as Sufiyan and Usman were injured after being shot at in the Mazhama area of Magam in the central Kashmir district.
The injured workers were immediately rushed to a hospital where their condition was stated to be stable.
The attack comes close on the heels of a successful anti-terrorist operation in the Batal area of Akhnoor in which all three foreign terrorists were eliminated by the joint team of security forces in the 27-hour-long operation.
Meanwhile, this is the fifth attack by terrorists in the Kashmir Valley since the formation of an elected government headed by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.
On October 24, two soldiers and two Army porters were killed in action while another porter and a soldier were injured in an attack on an Army vehicle six kilometres from the tourist hotspot Gulmarg.
Earlier that day, terrorists shot at and injured Shubam Kumar, a labourer from Uttar Pradesh, in the Tral area of Pulwama district.
On October 20, a local doctor and six non-local labourers were gunned down by terrorists at a tunnel construction site in the Gagangir area of Ganderbal. A labourer from Bihar was shot dead by terrorists in Shopian district on October 18.
