Militants opened fire on an Army convoy in the Pir Panjal valley’s Poonch district on January 12 evening. A major search operation is underway in the area following the exchange of fire.
The incident took place around 6 p.m. “A security forces convoy of vehicles was fired upon by suspected terrorists from a jungle near Krishna Ghati in the Poonch sector. No casualties to own troops,” a Jammu-based Army spokesman said.
The place where the attack took place is dotted with dense jungles, with steep mountain ranges nearby.
