For the second day in a row, terror has struck Jammu and Kashmir. An Army installation in Samba near Jammu has been attacked by terrorists this morning, who are reportedly throwing grenades inside the army camp.



One civilian is said to be injured in the attack.



Sources say there could be two to four terrorists involved in the attack on the camp of the 81 Armoured Regiment.



The terrorists have, however, not been able to enter the camp and are firing from outside. They are reportedly pinned down in bushes between the armoured regiment area and the army school.



Reinforcements have been brought in and the army and is also moving in 'Infantry Combat Vehicles' from Jammu towards the encounter site.



Like yesterday, the Jammu-Pathankote National Highway has been closed for traffic.

Our forces were on high alert since yesterday," said Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh.Yesterday, two terrorists dressed in Indian Army uniform crossed the international border, hijacked a jeep and stormed a police station in Kathua district of Jammu, killing four people, in the first major terror attack in the state since Mufti Mohammad Sayeed's PDP-BJP coalition government took charge this month.Both those terrorists were also killed in a fierce gun battle that lasted for six hours.

Sources said the terrorists would have used unfenced sections of the International Border to cross over. Although the entire India- Pakistan border is fenced, there are portions both on the International Border (IB) and the Line of Control (LoC) where rivers and rivulets make the fencing vulnerable.
