An assistant sub-inspector of the armed police was among the deceased. Meanwhile, the officials have said that a search operation has been launched to track down the terrorists. So far, no terrorist groups have claimed responsibility for the attack.

Kashmir has been a victim of insurgencies and terrorist attacks for a long time. But, since 2000, the insurgency has become less violent.
