The attack has come on the route of the upcoming Amarnath pilgrimage.

Reports said that two masked terrorists on a motorcycle tossed a grenade and started firing indiscriminately at the joint check post near the Oxford School in Anantnag.

A lesser-known Al-Umar Mujahideen terror outfit has claimed the responsibility for the attack. The outfit was wiped out a few years ago.
