URI: At least seven security personnel including a lieutenant colonel and one assistant sub inspector of police were killed in a fidayeen attack launched by Pakistani infiltrators at 32-field regiment in Uri sector of Baramulla district in north Kashmir in the wee hours of Friday.
Five terrorists have also been killed in the gunbattle. A senior Army officer who is commanding the operation against terrorists told TOI that the terrorists attacked the camp around 3am on Friday.
"The exact number of terrorists involved in the attack is not known. But the way these terrorists, believed to be from Pakistan, killed four security personnel on the road outside our Army camp makes us believe that they entered the camp from the gate through the road which is not made of concrete boundary."
The Army officer said, "One of our lieutenant colonels Sankalp Kumar of 24-Punjab regiment was killed in the exchange of fire besides three other soldiers. We have killed three terrorists so far and the operation against them is still going on."
The three soldiers killed in the gunbattle have been identified as AIS Mohammad Akbar Lone, head constable Abdul Majid and constable Sanjay Singh. The operation against terrorists is being led by two officers Lt Col Gurawah Jain and Lt Col Surinder Singh. The officers confirmed that the Pakistani infiltrators divided themselves into two groups. While one group entered the Army camp, other engaged the troops at the gate.
"The infiltrators used small arms and followed it with UBGL fire," the Army officer said.
The attack comes days ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the state on December 8, where he is scheduled to address an election rally in Srinagar. Uri goes to polls on December 9. There has been no major incident of infiltration from Pakistani side in the area, except in the early 90s. The Srinagar-Muzaffarabad bus service and the trade between two parts of Kashmir are carried out through this point of LoC in Kashmir valley.

Low lives are already blaming Pakistan.
