Jammu: Army on Thursday said that there were no casualties to armed forces in militants firing on its convoy in a village along Line of Control in Sunderbani area of Rajouri district on Thursday.

“Terrorists opened fire at an Indian Army convoy in Sunderbani, Akhnoor, yesterday. The firing was ineffective and our own troops responded swiftly,” Army said in a post on X.

“Some social media handles are falsely claiming casualties to own troops. This is false and deliberate disinformation.”

The search operations are presently underway to neutralise the perpetrators, the army added. Sources told GNS that armed forces are conducting searches at multiple villages to track down the militants who carried out the attack in the afternoon on Wednesday. (GNS)
