A labourer from Uttar Pradesh's Bijnore was left wounded in yet another terror attack in Kashmir's Pulwama district on Thursday morning. The victim, Shubam Kumar, was shot in the arm by terrorists in Batagund village, located in the Tral region, according to local officials.

Kumar, who was swiftly rushed to a nearby hospital for immediate medical attention, is one among many non-local labourers who have been caught in the crosshairs of terror strikes in the Valley this past week. This brazen attack marks the third such incident targeting migrant workers in the region within just seven days, deepening concerns over the safety of non-locals in Kashmir.
