Four soldiers were killed in action and three were injured during a gunfight with terrorists in Rajouri district on Thursday. The terrorists had fired upon two army vehicles passing through Poonch region, leading to a gunfight.
Five soldiers were killed in action during an anti-terror operation last month in Rajouri, which has become a hotbed of terrorists and a site of major attacks on the army over the past few years.
Ten soldiers were killed in action in twin attacks in the Rajouri-Poonch region last April and May. More than 35 soldiers have been killed during anti-terror operations in the area in the past two years.
