Militants targeted a CRPF patrol unit near Akhran in Kulgam district, triggering an armed confrontation in the volatile South Kashmir region. The attack left three CRPF personnel sustaining injuries, according to security officials.

Following the assault, CRPF jawans returned fire at the attackers, engaging in an exchange of gunfire at the location. The exchange lasted as security personnel secured the area and evacuated the wounded to a nearby medical facility for treatment.
