Army troops exchange fire with terrorists in Kathua
JAMMU, Jan 25 (PTI): Army troops exchanged fire with terrorists in the higher reaches of Jammu and Kashmir’s Kathua district in the early hours of Saturday, officials said, as a massive search operation is underway to trace out the ultras who fled after the initial fire-fight.
The alert sentry post of a temporary Army camp in Batod panchayat detected the movement of suspected terrorists at around 1:20 am and opened fire, the officials said.
They said the terrorists fired back and the intermittent exchange of fire continued between the two sides for nearly half an hour.
