The attackers opened fire at the Rajbagh police station a little after 6 am. This police station is located barely 15 kilometres from the International Border.

Sources say the attackers could be a fresh group of infiltrators who may have crossed the border last night.

Security forces and police teams have rushed to spot.

District authorities have closed traffic on National Highway 1 in Jammu.

This is first major incident in Jammu and Kashmir since the Mufti Mohammad Sayeed government took charge earlier this month.

There is a hostage situation developing, so we may be in for a protracted standoff. This, I'm afraid, isn't going to end well.
