Bombardment halted In Pulwama. 40-45 kg IED found in a car, states security units
Security units have once again proven that they are serving day and night to defend the citizens as they stopped a massive car bomb attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama on Wednesday night.
Based on intelligence data, a white Hyundai Santro car with a false registration number was signalled to stop at a checkpoint on Wednesday night. Security units obstructed a vehicle carrying 40-45 kg of improvised explosive device (IED).
"The security forces opened fire. The driver managed to escape, leaving behind the car laden with IED," Inspector General of Police Vijay Kumar said. "The terrorist intended to target vehicles of security forces. We are calling expert teams from outside. We suspect that the vehicle was carrying 40-45 kg of explosives," news agency ANI reported quoted Mr. Kumar.
He stated the driver is suspected to be a Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist, who is also in contact with Jaish-e-Mohammed that was involved in last year's suicide attack on the CRPF convoy. The car, with the IED, was later demolished by a bomb clearance squad. The extensive bang damaged numerous residences in the region.
"It was kept under watch for the night. People in nearby houses were evacuated and the vehicle was destroyed on-site by the bomb disposal squad as moving it would have been a serious threat," Director General of Police Dilbag Singh stated.

An air battle also followed between Indian and Pakistani fighter jets. In the last two months, there has been a gush in terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir; 30 security units staff including officers have spent their lives. Throughout this period, 38 terrorists have also been executed by security units.
