A major terror attack on an Army picket in a remote village of Rajouri was thwarted on Monday. Details are still emerging as the operation progresses. This comes after a similar incident on Sunday where an Army personnel was injured when terrorists opened fire on a security post in the Galuthi village of Manjakote area, Rajouri district.
The terrorists targeted a sentry post of the Territorial Army around 4 am, prompting immediate retaliation by the troops. The exchange of fire lasted for nearly half an hour, during which one soldier sustained injuries. Despite the fierce gunfight, the terrorists managed to escape into the nearby forest, leading to a massive search operation to track them down.
Security forces remain on high alert as the search operation continues, aiming to apprehend the terrorists involved. The thwarting of the attack and the ongoing efforts to secure the area demonstrate the resilience and preparedness of the security forces in Jammu and Kashmir.
