Three CRPF personnel were injured in a terrorist attack in south Kashmir’s Kulgam on Wednesday (November 11, 2026), a day when Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha was scheduled to attend an event in the district.

The incident took place at around 2:15 p.m. when terrorists opened fire from close range at CRPF personnel who were part of a checkpoint in Kulgam, officials said. Officials said security agencies were investigating whether the terrorists were motorcycle-borne or used any other vehicle to reach the attack spot. The area surrounding the attack site is also being searched for clues to track the attackers. Security was further heightened in south Kashmir after the attack.

The three CRPF personnel who suffered bullet injuries were from 46 Battalion and were identified as Constable Rakesh Dass, a resident of Assam; Constable Santosh Chandru, a resident of West Bengal; and Head Constable Somveer Singh, a resident of Madhya Pradesh. 

They were shifted to a hospital in the nearby Anantnag district. Officials said one of the critically injured was then airlifted to Srinagar’s Badamibagh Army Hospital for specialised treatment. 

The L-G visited the hospital in Srinagar on Wednesday evening (November 11, 2026) to enquire about the health of injured CRPF jawan.
