Four people, including two army jawans, were killed and many others were injured after an Army vehicle was attacked by terrorists near Botpathri in Gulmarg district of Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday evening.

Officials said that the terrorists opened fire on an army vehicle at Botapathri near Nagin post in Gulmarg, which is located close to the Line of Control (LoC). The vehicle reportedly belonged to the 18 Rashtriya Rifles (RR). 

Sources said that this might have been an infiltration attempt by the terrorists to enter the Indian territory. The Chinar Corps of the Indian Army in a post on X said, "A brief firefight took place between #IndianArmy and terrorists in general area Butapathri, #Baramulla."

The latest attack comes just hours after the terrorists shot a laborer in the Ganderbal district of Jammu and Kashmir. The injured laborer has been identified as Pritam, a resident of Uttar Pradesh.

Earlier this week, terrorists attacked a housing camp of workers involved in tunnel construction in Ganderbal. That attack resulted in the death of six laborers and a doctor.
