The operation to flush-out militants holed up inside EDI building continued for the second day. An Indian Army soldier was injured on 10 October2016 during a gunfight with two to three militants holed up in the seven-floor hostel building of EDI on the banks of River Jhelum and near the strategic Srinagar-Jammu highway. The main building of EDI was damaged in a three-day fierce gun battle between troops and militants in February 2016, ending in the killing of nine persons including three Army soldiers, two paramilitary troopers, a civilian, and three militants.
