3 Migrant Workers Shot Dead By Terrorists In Jammu and Kashmir

At least three construction workers were killed and five others were injured when terrorists opened fire at a construction site at Gagangir in Jammu and Kashmir's Ganderbal district, official sources said.

A police officer confirmed that two workers have been killed. Another died later at a hospital. The number of casualties can go up, sources said.

"The casualty figure from the Gagangir attack is not final as there are a number of injured labourers, both local & non-local. Praying that the injured make a full recovery as the more seriously injured are being referred to SKIMS, Srinagar," Chief Minister Omar Abdullah posted on X.

The terrorists had opened fire on a camp housing labourers of a private company, who were  working on an under-construction tunnel at the Gund area.

The police and army have cordoned off the area to track the attackers.

A post from the X handle of Jammu and Kashmir Police read, "Terror incident in Gagangeer, Ganderbal. Area cordoned off by security forces. Further details shall follow".
