An army major and eight jawans were injured in an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) blast in south Kashmir’s Pulwama district late on Thursday, officials said.
An army Casper vehicle was targeted with an IED blast and was followed by firing by the militants at Trichal village at around 9.15 pm.
“The blast left nine soldiers injured,” a police officer said.
Soon after the attack, the area was cordoned off and searches were conducted by security forces to trace the militants.
The Casper vehicle which came under attack belonged to 55 RR of the Army and was targeted on the Lassipora-Pulwama road.
