Similar attacks were carried out in February 2017 wherein three soldiers, including a Kashmiri jawan from Aanantnag, were killed in Shopian district of Jammu and Kashmir.
Hizbul Mujahideen ambushed the army convoy in the Shopian attack. The attack also led to a civilian's death, when she was hit by a stray bullet.
PTI mentioned that Army Chief General Bipin Rawat had paid tribute to the three slain soldiers and that he had reviewed "the overall security situation prevailing in the valley hinterland and along the Line of Control".
The Army Chief interacted with local commanders and troops. He urged them to carry on their duties with utmost professionalism
