The terrorists had struck at Kota Top in Tanta area, injuring the special operations group (SOG) constable.
A day earlier, on June 11, five Army personnel and a special police officer were injured when terrorists fired upon them at Chattergala on the Bhaderwah-Bani road.

Kathua police have also picked up two persons for allegedly helping the terrorists involved in June 11 attack on a village flee into the forests.
