Multiple rounds fired at army vehicle in Jammu's Rajouri, forces launch operation

Jammu and Kashmir: An army vehicle came under attack in the Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday, when multiple rounds were fired at it by suspected terrorists from a dense forest area. The firing took place as the vehicle was travelling through the region. 

There were no immediate reports of any casualties in the brief firing near Phal village in the Sunderbani sector, officials said.

They added that the terrorists believed to be hiding in a forest, fired a few rounds at the army vehicle passing through the area -- considered a traditional infiltration route for militants.

The troops returned fire while reinforcements were rushed to neutralise the terrorists, the officials said.

The army has launched a cordon and search operation in the area.
