Jammu: Army Jawan was injured after Terrioists on Friday night resorted to unprovoked ceasefire violation along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Akhnoor sector of Jammu district.
Official sources told news agency JKNS that the firing was intended to provide cover to a group of infiltrating terrorists attempting to sneak into the Indian side. Indian troops responded effectively to the provocation.
In the exchange of fire, one Army jawan sustained injuries, sources added that the jawan was been evacuated to a medical facility for treatment, and his condition is reported to be stable.
The firing, which took place in the late evening hours, created panic in nearby villages. Search operations have been intensified in the area to rule out any infiltration attempt. (JKNS)
