On Wednesday, in the Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir, in the Sunderbani area, terrorists opened fire on an Army vehicle.
Around 1 pm, the event happened in the wooded region along Sunderbani Malla Road, close to Phall village. A 9 JAK truck patrolling the area was hit by one or two bullets. So far, there have been no recorded casualties. The region is thought to be a conventional militant infiltration route.
