PULWAMA: An army vehicle was targeted with an improvised explosive device today in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama, where a convoy of the Central Reserve Police Force was attacked by a suicide bomber in February. There is no report of casualty. An encounter is on, sources said.

The armoured vehicle of the 44 Rashtriya Rifles was attacked near the Arihal village of Pulwama.

Reports say the Casper vehicle got damaged in the attack. Soon after, heavy firing and stone pelting started. The attack comes hours after an encounter in Anantnag in south Kashmir, in which an Army major and three soldiers were injured.

The soldiers came under fire during a cordon and search operation.


The injured, among whom there is another Major, have been rushed to the 92 base hospital of the Army in Srinagar, officials said. The encounter is still on..
