Srinagar: At least two soldiers were injured after terrorists on Saturday opened fire on an army convoy in Bemina on outskirts of Srinagar on Saturday.

The development comes a day ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Jammu and Kashmir where he will be inaugurating the country's longest road tunnel along Srinagar-Jammu national highway.

The gunmen attacked an army convoy near a hospital when it was passing the Parimpora Panthachowk Bypass road.

The troops retaliated the fire but attackers managed to escape.

The area has been cordoned off and search operation has been immediately launched by security forces.

Police, however, said that no casualties have been reported yet.

Meanwhile, security has been beefed up in the state ahead of PM Modi visit tomorrow.
