Jammu and Kashmir: At least six soldiers were injured after terrorists attacked Army's Temporary Operating Base (TOB) in Chattargalla area on Bhaderwah Bani road in Jammu and Kashmir's Doda. An encounter and search operation to nab the terrorists is underway.
This is the third terror incident in Jammu and Kashmir in the recent days after terrorists targeted a bus carrying pilgrims and attacked a house in Kathua. The injured soldier has been brought to the Sub District Hospital Bhaderwah.
Terrorists fired on a joint checkpost of the 4 Rashtriya Rifles and police in the Chatergala area, Additional Director General of Police Anand Jain said. Security personnel retaliated and a gunfight is on, he said.
Meanwhile, another search operation is underway to nab the terrorists in Kathua. A drone is being used to carry out the search operation in the Hiranagar area of Kathua.
Out of two terrorists who attacked a house in Kathua, one was neutralised last night in an encounter while one Army jawan has been martyred. Search operations to nab the other terrorists are underway. The security forces have cordoned off the area.
The one who has been neutralised in Kathua was a suspected Pakistani terrorist, police said.
The attacks in the Jammu region come two days after terrorists attacked a bus carrying pilgrims from the Shiv Khori temple to Katra causing it to veer off the road and fall into a deep gorge, resulting in the death of nine persons and injuries to 41 others.
On three terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, ADGP Anand Jain said, "It is our hostile neighbour who always tries to damage the peaceful environment in our country. This (Hiranagar Terror attack) appears to be a fresh infiltration. The one terrorist has been killed, the search for the other is also underway..."
Movement of traffic has been suspended on Bhadarwah-Pathankot Highway as search and cordon operation in the region continues in the wake of terror attack in Doda.
