Two soldiers were injured in a fresh encounter between security forces and terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda district early Thursday morning. The clash began around 2 am in Jaddan Bata village, Kastigarh area, when terrorists opened fire on the security personnel conducting a search operation.
Police reported that the soldiers sustained minor injuries during the exchange of fire. Efforts are ongoing to kill the terrorists involved.
The incident follows a recent encounter in the Doda region where four Army personnel lost their lives. In response, a large-scale search operation was launched in the Desa and nearby forest areas from Monday night into Tuesday.
Sources indicated that the latest attack occurred while Indian Army units had cordoned off a school in Kastigarh. Some troops were resting while others maintained their positions when the terrorists attacked with grenades, injuring two soldiers.
