Terrorists Attacked Army Camp in J&K’s Rajouri

Date:

 In a tense early morning operation, terrorists attacked an Army picket in the remote village of Rajouri, prompting a swift response from security forces. The Directorate of Public Relations Jammu reported that the attack, which began around 3 am at a security post in Gundha, Rajouri, triggered an immediate firefight.

Security personnel swiftly retaliated, leading to a brief exchange of gunfire. The White Knight Corps confirmed, ‘Terrorists attacked the house of a VDC at Gunda, Rajouri at 0310h. A nearby Army column reacted and a firefight ensued. Operations are continuing.’

Authorities have intensified security measures in the region, with a cordon and search operation launched following the attack. The situation is being closely monitored to prevent any further escalation of violence.

The incident underscores the persistent threat of terrorism in the Jammu region, which has seen a recent uptick in attacks. Just last week, the Indian Army responded to suspicious movements near the Line of Control in Sunderbani, Rajouri. In another incident, two soldiers were injured during an encounter in Kastigarh, Doda district.

The surge in violence comes in the wake of several other attacks, including a recent assault on an army convoy in Kathua and encounters in Doda and Udhampur districts. The Northern Army Commander, Lt Gen MV Suchindra Kumar, paid homage to the soldiers who lost their lives in the line of duty, emphasising the Army’s commitment to maintaining peace in the region. The situation remains fluid as security forces continue their operations to ensure the safety of residents and personnel in Jammu and Kashmir.
