NEW DELHI, Sept. 2 (Xinhua) -- An Indian army trooper was wounded Monday after militants attacked a military base in Indian-controlled Kashmir, police said.

The militants resorted to firing by targeting the camp at Sunjwan area in Jammu city, the winter capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir.

"Gunshots were heard here in which one army trooper was wounded. We are investigating the whole matter," Ajay Sharma, a senior police official in Jammu, told media.

The wounded trooper who was manning one of the posts was immediately evacuated to the hospital.
