Terrorists Target Army Vehicle in Akhnoor, Jammu and Kashmir

On Monday morning, an Indian Army vehicle was targeted in the Battal area of Akhnoor, Jammu and Kashmir. Alert soldiers successfully thwarted the attack. Army officials stated, “An army vehicle came under fire, but no injuries or casualties were reported. A search operation is currently underway.”

“Alert troops foiled the likely terror attack,” they added.

Last week, two soldiers and two civilians were killed after terrorists ambushed army vehicles in the Baramulla district.

According to officials, a convoy carrying personnel of a Rashtriya Rifles unit and civilian porters was moving to the Nagin post in the Afrawat range when terrorists opened fire on two army trucks at Botapathri, roughly 6km from the tourist hub of Gulmarg.

Days before that, a local doctor and six non-local labourers were gunned down by terrorists at a tunnel construction site in the Gagangir area of Ganderbal.

On Saturday, the Indian Army’s Romeo Force, in a joint operation with Special Operations Group (SOG) police, busted a terror hideout in the Balnoi sector in Poonch.

A string of terror attacks unleashed on Jammu and Kashmir over the last two weeks have claimed over a dozen lives, disrupting the peace in the union territory weeks after its assembly elections.
