Army Vehicle Attacked in Sunderbani area of Jammu and Kashmir

Terrorists opened fire on an Army patrol vehicle on Wednesday (26 February) in the Sunderbani area of Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district. The attack occurred around 1 pm (local time) near Phall village along Sunderbani Malla Road, a known infiltration route for militants. Officials reported that one or two rounds were fired at a 9 JAK Rifles vehicle while it was patrolling the area, but no casualties were reported.

Following the attack, security forces cordoned off the area and launched a search operation, with additional reinforcements deployed. The Army remains on high alert, and a Defence spokesperson confirmed the firing incident but had no further details. Security forces are now combing the region to locate the attackers.

In a separate incident early Wednesday morning (26 February, local time), BSF troops shot dead a Pakistani intruder along the international border in Pathankot, Punjab. The intruder was spotted making suspicious movements near the Border Outpost Tashpatan and ignored repeated warnings to stop after crossing into Indian territory.

Officials stated that the intruder’s identity is being verified, and the BSF has decided to lodge a strong protest with Pakistan Rangers over the breach. The BSF, responsible for guarding the India-Pakistan border, maintains strict vigilance along the 553-km Punjab stretch to prevent such incursions.
