Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah on Friday said the militants, who attacked a police station in Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua district, came from across the border.

"These Fidayeen will have walked across the border last night and launched their attack this morning which is the past pattern as well," Omar tweeted.

"My thoughts are with those brave security personnel dealing with the Fidayeen attack in Kathua town of Jammu this morning," he added.

One policeman was killed while nine others, including seven CRPF personnel, were injured in an attack on the Rajbagh Police Station in Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua district earlier this morning.

 

Two militants were also shot dead by the security forces in the ensuing gun battle.
