IED attack on Army party

SRINAGAR: Terrorists on the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday attacked an army vehicle by triggering an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) blast in south Kashmir's Shopian district. Reports said that terrorists attacked the army party and attempted to blow up bulletproof Casper of 44 RR with IED followed by firing at Heff village in Shopian.

"The blast was also followed by firing," official sources said, adding that there was no immediate report of any loss of life or injuries. A police official also confirmed the incident and said that terrorists triggered an IED when an armoured vehicle (Casper) of 44 RR was passing through the area.

Soon after the attack, the army along with the additional reinforcements cordoned off the area and launched searches to nab the attackers.
