Kashmir on high alert after militants carry out multiple back-to-back strikes

In a spate of militant attacks in the Kashmir Valley, terrorists carried out several attacks after which a red alert was sounded by the security forces.

Two grenade attacks were reported from Pulwama district - on a police station and a CRPF camp. Militant attacks were also reported from Anchidora, Sarnal, Padgampora, Sopore, Pahalgam and Gopalpora.

Intelligence inputs had suggested that after Iftaar there would be multiple attacks. Sources said Jammu and Kashmir Police had warned of attacks on CRPF and Army.

"We had inputs about possibility of such an attack today in Ramzan and that is why we had alerted our installations," said Jammu and Kashmir DGP SP Vaid.

In the last couple of weeks, attempts of infiltration from across the Line of Control (LoC) have gone up. Last week, the Army claimed to have killed 14 infiltrators in north Kashmir and said that the situation was crucial.
