After an extensive gun battle with terrorists, security forces have killed a terrorist in Sunjwan camp. The terrorist was shot dead by an army commando after he came out of a building. The forces have also recovered weapons including an AK-47 gun from the spot.

Earlier today, at least two Indian Army soldiers have been martyred and four injured including a civilian in the Jaish fidayeen attack in Jammu's Sunjwan camp. Subedar Maganlal and Subedar Mohammed Ashraf were killed in the attack by a group of militants.

The terror siege laid by four-five heavily armed Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) militants began at 4:10 am when according to reports, the terrorists entered the camp from its rear side.

The Indian Army personnel are still engaged in an intense gunbattle with the militants- who are believed to be holed up near the officers' residential quarters.

Some reports suggest that the militants have been cornered and 19 out of 26 families living in the camp have been moved to a secure area.

Meanwhile, a red alert has been sounded across the state.

According to a police official, the militants hurled grenades and used heavy volume of automatic gunfire to enter the Sunjwan Military Station.

Earlier in the day, IAF para commandos were also airlifted from Udhampur to Sunjwan camp.

Reacting to the ongoing encounter, Jammu and Kashmir CM Mehbooba Mufti said that she is 'disturbed' because of the terror attack. She tweeted her support to the soldiers and their families.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh has spoken with the J&K Director General of Police over phone on the terror attack. Whereas, the Army Chief General Bipin Rawat has briefed Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman about the situation.

This attack comes a day after intelligence agencies had issued a warning about probable terror siege in the state in view of death anniversaries of Afzal Guru and Maqbool Bhat.
