The principal and a teacher of a government school were killed by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Srinagar today, less than 48 hours after three persons were shot dead in strikes on Tuesday.

Technology used in Sunday's drone strikes on an Air Force base in Jammu indicate "state-support" and involvement of Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba, Lt General DP Pandey, Corps Commander of the 15 Corps in Srinagar, said.
