Jammu and Kashmir: Seven people - five policemen and
two civilians - have been killed in a militant attack at
the Hiranagar police station near Kathua in Jammu. The
toll is expected to go up.
Initial reports said that there had been around three to
five attackers who had arrived at the station early
morning and opened fire. The militants had escaped in a
truck that had been parked outside the station, CNN-IBN
reported.
The death toll is likely to rise further, the channel added.
ANI quoted police sources as saying that the militants
came dressed in army fatigues. The agency tweeted that
the militants are believed to have hijacked the truck to
make their escape. The truck is now believed to have
reached an army brigade camp in Samba, where there is
a heavy encounter on, it added. Army jawans are
believed to be injured.
"The militants hijacked a truck after the attack on the
police station and drove towards Jammu city and carried
out another attack on Mesar army camp on Delhi-Jammu
national highway near Samba town," said Rajesh Kumar,
Inspector General of Police for the Jammu range. One
personnel guarding the Army camp is believed to have
been killed.
"The militants are now inside the camp and firing is
going on. They shot one army man who was guarding
the camp."
India has faced an insurgency in its part of Muslim-
majority Kashmir since 1989 and has long accused
Pakistan of supporting the militants fighting Indian rule
