Four soldiers lost their lives and six others were injured after terrorists ambushed an army truck in Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua district on Monday afternoon.
Police and local administration team which was part of an anti-encroachment drive, came under attack by a mob opposing the demolition of the illegal mosque in Kathua
"As Amarnath yatra is approaching, this seems to be a ploy to disturb the yatra. One civilian is injured and there is no hostage situation," Jammu ADGP Anand Jain said
The terrorist attack on the temporary operating base (TOB) of the Indian Army in the remote area of Doda was the third terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir within 48 hours
