A Junior Commissioned Officer, along with five Army personnel, were killed, and as many were injured yesterday when terrorists ambushed a patrol party in Kathua’s remote Machedi area.

The ten soldiers were in an Army truck that was attacked by grenades and gunfire yesterday afternoon. The terrorists fled into the forest after the ambush. A search operation has been launched to track them down.

A shadow outfit of the banned Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), Kashmir Tigers, has claimed responsibility for the attack.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has said he is “deeply anguished” by the soldiers’ deaths yesterday.

“I am deeply anguished at the loss of five of our brave Indian Army Soldiers in a terrorist attack in Badnota, Kathua (J&K). My deepest condolences to the bereaved families, the Nation stands firm with them in this difficult time. The Counter Terrorist operations are underway, and our soldiers are determined to usher in peace and order in the region. I pray for a speedy recovery to those who sustained injuries in this dastardly terror attack,” he said in a post on X.
