Wreath-laying ceremony of BSF jawan Nitin who lost his life in the Baramula attack this morning.

At least two terrorists and a Border Security Force personnel were killed, while another BSF jawan was injured when terrorists attacked two adjoining camps of Army and the paramilitary force at Baramulla in Jammu and Kashmir.

The heavily-armed terrorists attacked the two camps belonging to Rashtriya Rifles and BSF late on Sunday night, leading to a fierce gun-battle with the security forces.

Following the firefight, two terrorists were killed by the forces while one BSF personnel, who was hit by bullets, succumbed to his injuries later, a Home Ministry spokesperson said in New Delhi.

The martyred jawan has been identified as Constable Nitin while the injured personnel is Constable Pulwinder. Both belong to the 40th battalion of the BSF, officials said.
