Srinagar: Terrorists launched a pre-dawn attack on a police building in south Kashmir's Pulwama district on Saturday.

A Jammu and Kashmir policeman and a Central Reserve Police Force jawan have died in the attack while several other CRPF and police personnel were injured.

A critically injured CRPF head constable was evacuated by a helicopter.

The terrorists opened fire on district police lines premises in Pulwama at around 4:30 am, resulting in injuries to four security personnel, a police official said, adding a policeman later succumbed to his injuries.

Soon thereafter, a CRPF jawan also succumbed.

The security forces retaliated and cross firing was going on when reports last came in.

Extra forces have been rushed to the spot, he added.
