Gunmen shot and injured 10 police paramilitaries Monday who were trying to impose a curfew in the main city of Kashmir during Indian Independence Day, security sources said.
Three of those who were wounded are in a serious condition, according to a spokesperson for the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), after two separate attacks in the centre of Srinagar where security forces had been on high alert.
Authorities have imposed a curfew in large parts of Kashmir since July 9 during an upsurge in violence sparked by the killing of a top militant commander.
CRPF spokesperson Bhuvesh Chaudhary said that seven paramilitaries had been injured in the first attack in the Nowhatta neighborhood and three others were injured shortly afterwards in another shooting close by.
Another security official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that intermittent firing was still being heard in the neighborhood and it was not yet clear how many gunmen had been involved.
Indian-administered Kashmir has been under a curfew since protests broke out over the death last month of the popular young rebel leader Burhan Wani in a gunfight with security forces.
