Three CRPF Jawans Injured in Kulgam Terror Attack

Three CRPF personnel were injured in a suspected terrorist attack at a security checkpost near Mir Bazaar in Kulgam district, Jammu and Kashmir. The incident took place around 2:15 PM on Wednesday, 11 November 2026.

Attackers arrived on a motorcycle and opened fire on the deployed soldiers before they could react. The gunmen fled the scene immediately after the shooting.

“It is a very sad incident. But the question is, Kulgam has been a scene of action, not only this time but on a number of occasions.”

Defence expert Hemant Mahajan described the assault as a 'shoot and scoot' strategy. He said attackers target security posts and leave quickly to avoid retaliation.

Mahajan stated that such attacks aim to show that the situation in Kashmir is not entirely normal. He added that these surprise attacks may continue from time to time.

The expert said security forces are likely to track down the attackers within one to two weeks. He stressed that the fight against Pakistan-backed terrorism is a long battle.

A viral video falsely claimed defence expert Praful Bakshi called the attack a 'false flag operation'. Fact-checkers confirmed the video is a deepfake and Bakshi made no such statement.

Bakshi said the incident is very sad and that Kulgam has been a scene of action on multiple occasions. He added that terrorist organisations are well-organised and well-formulated.
