The terrorists had opened fire on the bus in the high-security area that houses several camps of various security forces.
It was the second major terror attack in the Kashmir Valley after the recent spate of targeted attacks on migrant workers and members of the minority communities.
Earlier, two policemen were killed as terrorists opened fire at a police team in Kashmir’s Bandipora district.
