Two days after a report that Pakistan had tipped off both India & US about an attack in J&K, an Army convoy was targeted in Pulwama Monday, killing 2 soldiers.
The blast took place at 5 am when a joint team of the CRPF's CoBRA unit and the state police were carrying out an operation in the forests of Seraikela Kharsawan district.
4 Army personnel, including a major, and a policeman were also killed in the encounter. 8 security personnel, including the DIG of south Kashmir, were injured.
