Several people including Indian Army soldiers were killed on Thursday evening as terrorists attacked their vehicle in Kashmir. The incident has prompted outrage across party lines with BJP chief President Ravinder Raina assuring a "befitting reply" from the Indian Army. Meanwhile newly appointed Chief Minister Omar Abdullah dubbed the recent spate of attacks a “matter of serious concern” for the region.

“Coward Pakistani terrorists attacked the vehicle of an Indian army...The police and army have launched the search operation...The terrorists will have to pay a heavy price for it. Efforts are being made from Pakistan to disturb the peace and harmony of J&K...The Indian army will give a befitting reply to these terrorists,” Raina said.

Two porters working with the Army were killed on Thursday as they travelled alongside a group of soldiers through Kashmir. Four soldiers were rushed to the hospital and two later succumbed to their injuries.
