Terrorists, security forces exchange fire in J&K's Poonch; one Army personnel injured
JAMMU: A brief exchange of fire took place between terrorists and security forces in a village in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district, officials said on Tuesday.
The gunfire rattled the Lasana village of Surankote Monday night when security forces launched a search operation following information about the presence of terrorists, the officials said.
"Contact was established with terrorists during a joint operation with Police at Lasana, Surankote last night. Additional troops have been inducted, and search operations are ongoing to prevent the terrorists from escaping," Army's Jammu-based White Knight Corps wrote on X.
Officials said one Army personnel was injured in the firing, and was subsequently shifted to a hospital.
