Four army personnel were martyred after militants opened fire at an Indian Army convoy in Machedi area of Kathua district in Jammu and Kashmir on Monday, news agency PTI reported. As many as six army personnel have sustained injuries in the attack.
Militants opened fire on an Army convoy in Jammu’s Kathua district on Monday afternoon, marking the latest in a series of attacks in the Union Territory. The ambush occurred in Badnota village, Lohai Malhar area, while Army vehicles were on a routine patrol. Security forces retaliated, and an exchange of fire was ongoing when last reports were received. Reinforcements have been rushed to the area, and further details are awaited, officials said.
This incident follows a similar attack on Sunday morning in the Jammu division, where a soldier was injured during an assault on an Army camp in Rajouri district’s Manjakote area. The recent spike in militant activities has heightened security concerns in the region.
