00:00Disturbing news coming in from Jammu and Kashmir in Rajouri-Sunderbani area, there's been a
00:05terror attack at an army vehicle.
00:08This Rajouri area, remember, is in the Jammu region.
00:12The terrorists have attacked an army vehicle in Jammu.
00:15This is in many ways, remember, in the past few years we've seen how these jihadists sponsored
00:20by Pakistan have changed their strategy from the Kashmir valley now to the Jammu region
00:26where also, frankly, the terrain is more wide, difficult sometimes to be able to tread and
00:33therefore this time in Rajouri, forces have been attacked.
00:37This is in Sundarbani area.
00:40Ashraf Wani joins me for the latest on that.
00:42Ashraf, what are you hearing presently about the developing details that are coming in?
00:51Actually, there are reports that an army vehicle which was of the Jammu and Kashmir light infantry
00:58dude that was going through the Sundarbani area through a village which was fired by
01:03the terrorists.
01:05Some three to four rounds of fire is being reported being fired on the vehicle.
01:09Now the area has been immediately cordoned off so that those attackers could be enabled
01:14who have attacked this army vehicle in the Sundarbani area.
01:18We have seen it is not the first time when this kind of terror attack has been carried
01:23out by the terrorists who infiltrate from the Pakistani side then enter into the Indian
01:28territory and target the security forces.
01:31And this time this vehicle has been targeted and attacked by the terrorists in the Sundarbani
01:37area of Rajouri district near the LOC in a village.
01:41The area has been cordoned off.
01:42As I said, there is not any report of any casualty or any injuries among the security
01:46forces but security forces have confirmed that four to five gunshots have been fired
01:52towards the vehicle and it is visible that probably there are terrorists hiding in the
02:00area near that particular spot.
02:02Ashraf, you are telling us that this is the JAKLI, the Jammu Kashmir Light Infantry which
02:07means the soldiers are from J&K itself and like you are telling us the strategy shifting
02:13from targeting in Kashmir now to Jammu.
02:15Tell us more about Sundarbani for the viewer who may not know that does this fall near
02:20the border area with Pakistan near the line of control in Rajouri.
02:24Tell us more about it and how possibly the terrorists have been able to attack even an
02:28army vehicle in Rajouri area.
02:35As I said that this area is near the line of control in the Navshera sector and the
02:42Rajouri as well as the Sundarbani and the Navshera come in the same periphery and recently
02:48we had seen there was an IED blast which was being believed that it was carried out by
02:53the terrorists, the Pakistani terrorists near the line of control in that particular terrorist
02:59attack.
03:00Two soldiers also got injured.
03:02There was also the ceasefire violation in the Punj sector of the same region where there
03:08was also three days back a brigadier level flag beating between the India and Pakistan
03:14so that these ceasefire violation could be averted on the line of control.
03:19But despite that we are seeing as the Indian security agencies and the Indian army is saying
03:24that Pakistani army is pushing more and more terrorists into the J&K particularly in the
03:31Jammu region that is Punj, Rajouri and this is going on for last one year so far.
03:36Many terrorist attacks were carried out by these terrorists in the Rajouri, Punj and
03:41the Navshera sector and this one is also being believed one like such attack.
03:46But so far there is the good news that there is not any kind of casualty among the security
03:50forces and the armed forces and the area has been cordoned off probably after the operation
03:55it will be clear that what is the exact number of these terrorists, how they came and how
04:00they managed to target this army vehicle in the Sundarbani area.
04:04Ashraf keep tracking the latest on that I will come back to you in just a short while.
04:08This is a reminder also remember of how our soldiers have to be on constant alert even
04:13during routine movement they can be targeted in Rajouri.
04:18This needs more security updates because remember this is not literally when there is a confrontation.
04:25The terrorists have been able to fire at an army vehicle of course retaliatory firing
04:28also is happening from the Indian army needless to say that we will be tracking all that and
04:34more from Rajouri coming in.
