This is the first terror attack on army camp in Kashmir after the Indian army conducted surgical strikes across LoC.
Heavy firing started at around 10.30pm as two-three terrorists opened fire at the camp just days after the Uri terror attack which claimed lives of 19 soldiers.
The terrorists were reportedly throwing grenades at the camp and they tried to enter the Army camp through a public park nearby.
This is a developing story, more details awaiting.
