Srinagar: Three police personnel were killed and 11 others injured after terrorists attacked a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) convoy near Pampore on the outskirts of Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir. One of the wounded is a civilian, officials said.

At least three terrorists, who fled the scene, are suspected to be holed up inside a government building complex of the Entrepreneurship Development Institute. The firefight has stopped and the entire area has been cordoned off. Around 20 people including government employees who were trapped inside the main building of the complex have been evacuated, officials said.

About 90 others were evacuated from nearby buildings. "Three to five terrorists are still holed up in the complex. More than 115 civilians who were trapped have been evacuated," senior police officer Javid Gilani said. Some of the employees who came running from the building complex said that it was 'a narrow escape' for all those present inside the building when terrorists came in.
