“The Army on February 3 opened fire after observing a suspicious movement near the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district,” officials said. They said Army troops picked up the suspicious movement in the Sabra Gali area of Mendhar and immediately responded.
“The firing was at a forward village in snow-bound Mendhar in the early hours of Saturday and a massive search operation was under way when last reports were received,” the officials said.
