A massive anti-terror operation was launched in Jammu city on Monday after suspected terrorist activity was detected near the largest Army base in the area. Several rounds were fired at Sunjawan Military Station around 10:50 am, resulting in one soldier being critically injured.
The Army base has been sealed off to prevent any movement, and a special operations group has been deployed to assist with the operation. A brief firing took place earlier today when suspected terrorists opened a few rounds on one of the army posts guarding one of the biggest security camps in the winter capital.
The firing caused panic as the Special Operations Group (SOG) of the local police rushed to the scene to join the army in a massive search operation to hunt down the fleeing terrorists. The search operation is on but there was no contact with the terrorists so far.
This development comes two days after a senior police officer called for robust coordination among various security agencies to meet any potential challenge during the upcoming assembly elections across Jammu.
Several districts in Jammu were rocked by a spate of terror incidents between April and July this year as terror handlers from across the border continued their attempts to revive militancy in the otherwise peaceful region. Jammu and Kashmir is scheduled to go to elections in three phases on September 18, September 25 and October 1 followed by counting of votes on October 8.
