Both the terrorists attempting to infiltrate the army company operating base in Pargal of J&K's Darhal area in Rajouri have been killed, Singh said, adding that at least three soldiers have suffered injuries.
The attack, which came four days ahead of Independence Day, marks the return of 'fidayeen' (suicide attackers) to the Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir after more than three years.
The last suicide attack took place on February 14, 2019 at Lethpora in Pulwama district of south Kashmir, in which 40 CRPF personnel were killed.
In today's attack, the two 'fidayeen', believed to be from the banned Jaish-e-Mohammed, tried to sneak into the camp but were neutralised, director general of police Dilbag Singh told PTI.

According to Army officials, one officer is also among the injured Army personnel in the terrorist attack and has been rushed for medical treatment. "16 Corps Commander Lt Gen Manjinder Singh is constantly monitoring the situation on the ground. The area is being sanitised," the official said.
Security officials have cordoned off the area and additional parties have been dispatched to the location.
Security forces and the police had been put on alert following intelligence inputs on suspected movement of terrorists in the Rajouri belt, prompting them to launch a combing operation in Darhal and Nowshera belt on Wednesday.
