New Delhi: CRPF personnel were attacked by terrorists on Wednesday morning at Baramulla in Sopore, Jammu and Kashmir. One soldier was killed in this attack while three other soldiers were injured. At the same time, a civilian has also died. During the encounter, the Jammu and Kashmir police also rescued a three-year-old child, who was sitting on top of his grandfather’s body during the attack.
