Jammu, Oct 28: A gunfight erupted between security forces and terrorists on Monday during a search operation in a village near the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu’s Akhnoor sector, officials reported.
The search operation in Khour’s Bhattal area was initiated after three terrorists opened fire on an Army ambulance traveling along the main road near Assan Temple in Jogwan earlier this morning. No casualties have been reported so far.
Reinforcements have been deployed to neutralize the heavily armed terrorists, who reportedly crossed into Jammu from across the border during the night. According to officials, the terrorists briefly entered a temple, attempting to locate a mobile phone to make a call. Spotting the passing ambulance, they fired more than a dozen bullets at the vehicle.
The Army and local police promptly initiated a cordon and search operation to apprehend the terrorists, with efforts ongoing to secure the area and restore safety.
