All three terrorists, involved in firing at an Army convoy passing through a village near the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Akhnoor sector, were killed on Tuesday morning in anti-terror operations.
It comes after a fresh gunfight erupted in a village in the Akhnoor sector of the Jammu region on Tuesday morning as security forces made a push for a final assault against a militant group, believed to be three in number, holed up in the area.

One of the three terrorists who fired at an army ambulance that was part of a convoy moving near the Line of Control (LoC) on Monday morning was killed by the evening in an operation launched by the special forces and NSG commandos.
A couple of deafening explosions followed by an intense firing on Tuesday broke the overnight lull when security forces closed in on the terrorists hiding near the Assan temple in Jogwan village in Khour, the officials said.
A four-year-old valiant Army dog, Phantom, died after being hit by a bullet during the operation.
As a first, the Army has also pressed its four BMP-II infantry combat vehicles for surveillance and strengthening the cordon around the attack site, while helicopters and drones were also deployed to locate the hiding terrorists.
