Jawan, civilian injured in militant attack in J-K

Rajouri/Jammu: A soldier and a civilian were injured as security forces foiled twin terror attacks on an Army post and the house of a Village Defence Group (VDG) in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district early Monday, officials said. A cordon and search operation is underway to trace the terrorists, they said.

The area was cordoned off by a joint team of the Army, police, Central Reserve Police Force and VDGs following intermittent exchanges of fire with terrorists throughout the day, they said.

"Terrorists attacked the house of a VDG member at Gunda, Rajouri at 0310 hours. An adjacent Army column reacted swiftly, leading to a firefight," the Army's White Knight Corps said on X. Operations are ongoing, it said. (PTI)
