On eve of third anniversary of abrogation of Article 370, a militant attack left one non-local labourer dead and two others injured in Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir.
Police said the grenade attack took place at Gadoora area of Pulwama this evening.
“Terrorists hurled grenade on outside labourers at Gadoora area of Pulwama. In this terror incident, one labourer died and two others were injured,” a police spokesman said. He added the area has been cordoned off to trace the attackers.
This is the first target attack on non-locals in Kashmir in the last two months. On June 2, a bank manager from Rajasthan Vijay Kumar and labourer from Bihar were killed in two separate targeted attacks in Kashmir. This year there was a spate of targeted killings mostly at the minority community and non-locals.
