Rajouri, July 22: The Indian Army successfully foiled a terrorist attack late last night in the Khawas area of Rajouri. The encounter is still ongoing.
According to official sources, 2-3 terrorists attempted to assault an Army post near the residence of Parshotam Das, a Village Defence Guard (VDG) member. Das was awarded the Shaurya Chakra for his bravery several months ago, when he killed one terrorist and injured another during a previous encounter.
In the initial exchange of fire, one Indian Army jawan and a civilian were injured. Sources also indicate that one terrorist is likely killed in the ongoing encounter.
Intelligence agencies had received inputs indicating that terrorists might target Parshotam Das. In response, the Army established a temporary operating base near his house to thwart any potential threats.
As of now, the situation remains tense with security forces continuing their operation to neutralize the terrorists.
More information will be provided as the situation develops.
