Two truck drivers shot dead by terrorists in Shopian; third incident in 10 days

SRINAGAR: Terrorists Thursday struck for the third time in 10 days in south Kashmir’s militancy-hit Shopian district killing two non-Kashmiri truck drivers, who had gone to ferry loads of apples, officials said.

“It’s an unfortunate incident. The truck drivers had ventured into interior areas without informing the security forces,” a senior official said.

The official said that bodies of two drivers had been recovered while another injured was being evacuated to hospital in Srinagar. (AGENCIES)
