“An army vehicle was fired upon in the Battal area of Akhnoor. No injury or causality was reported. A search operation has been launched,” said Army officials.
“Alert troops foiled the likely terror attack,” they added.
Army officers intensified their search operation in the Akhnoor sector, close to the Pakistan border, after security officials received reports of three terrorists in the vicinity.
Villagers near the Assan temple in the Bhattal area of Khour alerted authorities to the presence of the heavily armed individuals. Reports indicated that gunshots were heard in the forward village as an Army ambulance passed through the area.
In response, Army troops, supported by police, have cordoned off the village and surrounding regions. The operation aims to locate and neutralize the terrorists, who are suspected to have infiltrated from across the border, according to officials.
