Banned terror outfit The Resistance Front (TRF) has claimed responsibility for both attacks in south Kashmir’s Shopian and Anantnag. The Kashmir Zone Police posted on X about the Anantnag attack, saying, ‘#Terrorist fired upon and injured a lady Farha R/0 Jaipur and spouse Tabrez at Yannar, #Anantnag. Injured evacuated to hospital for treatment. Area cordoned off. Further details shall follow. @JmuKmrPolice”.
Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and Jammu and Kashmir People’s Democratic Party (PDP) leader Mehbooba Mufti posted on X after the two attacks, saying, “While we condemn the attack of Pahalgam today thay resulted in injuries to two tourists followed by another attack on a sarpanch in Hurpora, Shopian- the timing of these attacks given that the South election was delayed without any reason is a cause of concern. Especially keeping in mind normalcy claims touted by GOI’.
