Terrorists attack Army camp in Assam, 3 soldiers injured

A tense night unfolded in Assam's Kakopathar area as unidentified terrorists attacked an Indian Army camp around midnight on Friday. According to defence sources, the militants fired at the Kakopathar Company location from a moving vehicle at around 12.30 am. The troops on duty retaliated immediately, taking due caution to avoid collateral damage to civilian houses in the close vicinity.

The attack reportedly involved three Under Barrel Grenade Launchers (UBGLs) followed by a nearly half-hour-long barrage of gunfire. Despite the intensity, only minor injuries were reported, with three Army personnel sustaining abrasions.

"No major injuries were sustained other than minor abrasions to three personnel. The area has been sanitised and joint searches in coordination with the police are being carried out," a defence spokesperson said.
