Poonch: The military on Saturday opened fire after observing a suspicious movement near the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district, officials said.
They said troops noticed the suspicious movement in the Sabra Gali area of Mendhar and immediately responded.
The firing adhered in snow-bound Mendhar in the early hours of Saturday and a massive search operation was underway when last reports were received, the officials said.
A massive search operation has been launched to sanitise the area, they said, adding further details are awaited.
They said the troops guarding the LoC are on high alert following the recent snowfall to scuttle any attempt to sneaking.
General Officer Commanding of Jammu-based White Knight Corps Lt Gen Navin Sachdeva on Friday visited forward locations in the Poonch sector and reviewed the operational preparedness of the formation.
He exhorted all ranks to stay vigilant and steadfast against all challenges.
