According to authorities, the terrorists wore bodycams during the attack and intended to take the army personnel's weapons. However, the soldiers showed incredible bravery and fortitude in foiling their plot, even if they were hurt.
On the rough Machedi-Kindli-Malhar mountain route near Badnota hamlet in Kathua district, terrorists attacked a patrolling group, resulting in the deaths of five army personnel—including a junior commissioned officer—and the injuries of an equal number.
Terrorists, according to reports, were targeting locations with limited road connection and great distances from military units, making it difficult for security personnel to dispatch reinforcements quickly.
Sources stated that security services had stepped up their investigation into the incident and that around 20 individuals had been taken into custody to be questioned by police. watch out this space for more updates in this regard.
