Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed back-to-back encounters and terror attacks, with the majority of the incidents occurring in the Jammu region. Unlike in the past, militants are increasingly appearing in the mountains, inflicting casualties on security forces and then move from one area to another.

Earlier today, army troops thwarted an attack on a security post and house of a village defence guard (VDG) in Rajouri district. A cordon and search operation was launched to track down the militants, triggering gunfight.

A militant was killed and a jawan and a civilian, kin of the VDG whose house was attacked, suffered injuries, PTI reported.  

Today's militant attack is the 14th incident in Jammu region in which 10 security personnel including two officers, 9 pilgrims lost their lives and 58 others were injured. Five militants were neutralised during the period.
