Terror struck an Army camp in North Kashmir’s Uri town when militants stormed a battalion headquarters in the wee hours on Sunday, killing 17 soldiers. The Army camp is located barely few meters away from its Brigade Headquarters in Uri town.

Four militants were confirmed killed after penetrating the base in Uri near the Lin e of Control with Pakistan, an army spokesperson said. The attack began at 5.30am in the morning. Reacting to the shocking attack, Indian boxing star Vijender Singh took to social micro-blogging site Twitter to share his views.

Indian Boxer Vijender Singh strongly condemned the attack on an army base at Uri in Kashmir on Sunday and slammed Pakistan for supporting terrorists across the border.
