A security jawan was injured on Tuesday as terrorists opened fire on a search party in the Narla village of Rajouri district in Jammu and Kashmir.
The encounter began after security forces launched a search and cordon operation in the forested Patrada area on Monday evening. The forces fired a few rounds on observing suspicious movement of two persons, but the suspects managed to escape from the scene taking advantage of darkness and thick foliage.
The cordon and search operation was extended to nearby areas including Bambel and Narla to track down the fleeing terrorists. The firing between the two sides was still going on when last reports were received.
Army and Special Operations Group (SOG) of J&K Police are on the job. Further details are awaited.
