TIL Desk/National/Srinagar/ Terrorists Thursday struck for the third time in 10 days in south Kashmir’s militancy-hit Shopian district killing two non-Kashmiri truck drivers, who had gone to ferry loads of apples, officials said. “It’s an unfortunate incident. The truck drivers had ventured into interior areas without informing the security forces,” a senior official said.
