Srinagar/IBNSi: Two soldiers and two porters were killed in a fresh terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla on Thursday, the Indian Army confirmed.

Three others were also injured in the operation.

In a post on X, the Indian Army's Chinar Corps confirmed an exchange of fire happened between soldiers and terrorists in the general area of Baramulla's Butapathri.

This was the third attack in a single day as earlier in the evening terrorists opened fire on an army vehicle in Butapathri injuring five soldiers, said reports.

The attack came hours after a labourer was shot at and injured in Jammu and Kashmir's Ganderbal district.

The injured man was later identified as Pritam Singh, who is a resident of Uttar Pradesh.

Upon receiving the information, security personnel reached the area. This was the third attack on non-local labourers in Kashmir in the past week.

On October 20, a doctor and six construction workers were killed during a terrorist attack at a tunnel construction site on the Srinagar-Leh national highway in the Ganderbal district.

Thursday's attack was reported at the time when the newly-elected Jammu and Kashmir chief minister, Omar Abdullah, reached New Delhi to hold a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Abdullah handed him a resolution seeking early restoration of statehood to the union territory.

Earlier in the day, Abdullah met Union defence minister Rajnath Singh and Union minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari.
