Srinagar: Terrorists on Sunday night launched a fidayeen attack on an army camp in Baramulla town of Jammu and Kashmir, three days after Indian military’s surgical strikes on terror launch pads across the LoC, officials said.

Details of the incident were not immediately known. Firing was on when reports came in, they said.

The camp is located on the outskirts of Baramulla city, 54 kms from here. Personnel of the border guarding force BSF, which is under the operational command of the Army in this area, jointly stay in the camp with the soldiers, they said.

The attack came barely a fortnight after the terror assault on the army’s brigade headquarters at Uri which left 19 soldiers dead. The Indian army carried out retaliatory surgical strikes on terrorist launch pads early Thursday in PoK and there were apprehensions about possible suicide attacks on defence installations ever since.
