At least seven members of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) organisation were involved in the Poonch terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday, which resulted in the deaths of five Rashtriya Rifles soldiers and injured one more. The Indian Army has suffered losses in four incidents in the Poonch-Rajouri region.
The event occurred in a heavily forested area on the Indian side of the Line of Control (LoC), 7 kilometres from Bhimber Gali. The existence of militants from Pakistan in the vicinity was confirmed by well-informed intelligence. The jihadists were waiting for a convoy to be ambushed while they were concealed in the jungle.
According to inputs from the Jammu and Kashmir Police, the terrorists used rocket-propelled grenades and assault rifles against the RR jawans travelling in the truck.
