Srinagar, CNI: A soldier was killed in a stand-off attack on the army’s Sunjwan army post in Jammu, defence sources said today.
They said that the terrorists seem to have carried out an attack on the army post camp in Sunjwan area of Jammu in which one soldier sustained injuries. “A few gunshots were heard after which there was a lull.

They said the injured soldier was removed to the hospital for treatment, he, however, succumbed.
A massive manhunt has been launched in the area especially in the tall buildings to track down the attackers. “Drones have been pressed into service for aerial surveillance,” defence sources said, adding that the Jammu has been already on high alert in the wake of spate of attacks by terrorists on the army.
