A soldier of the Indian Army was injured in an exchange of fire with terrorists who were attempting to cross the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district, officials said on Saturday.
The encounter took place in the forward Ranger Nallah area of the Gulpur sector late on Friday night when the Indian troops noticed at least three heavily armed terrorists trying to infiltrate into India under the cover of thick foliage and darkness, they said.
A soldier was injured in the brief firing and the terrorists managed to slip into the nearby dense forest. Reinforcements have been rushed to the area and a massive search operation is underway to trace and neutralise the terrorists, the officials said.
