Army Vehicles Attacked By Terrorists In J&K's Kathua, Second In 2 Days

Army vehicles have been attacked by terrorists - the second strike in as many days - in Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua district, which borders Punjab's Pathankot. One solider has been injured.

The initial attack has been fought off and an encounter is underway.

Reinforcements have been rushed to the spot.

Today's attack comes 24 hours after six terrorists were killed across two separate encounters in J&K's Kulgam district. The encounters, which began on Saturday, also claimed the lives of two soldiers, including a para-trooper, while another soldier sustained injuries, police told NDTV.

The first encounter took place in Modergam village when security forces, comprising the CRPF or Central Reserve Police Force, the Army, and local police, launched a search op based on intelligence about terrorist presence. In the initial exchange of gunfire, a para-trooper was fatally wounded.
