Five army soldiers and one special police officer were injured when terrorists opened fire at the Army's Temporary Operating Base (TOB) in Jammu and Kashmir's Doda district on Wednesday. During the gunfight, a terrorist was also neutralized.

An ongoing encounter and search operation is being conducted to apprehend the terrorists. This marks the third terror attack in the Jammu region over the last three days, following incidents in Reasi and Kathua.

Union Minister Jitendra Singh reported that the terrorists targeted a home in Kathua's Saida Sukhal village in the Hiranagar sector, near the International Border (IB).
