An Army vehicle came under fire from suspected terrorists in a forward village near the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district on Wednesday, officials said.

However, there were no casualties in the brief firing near Phal village in the Sunderbani sector, they added.

The terrorists, believed to be hiding in a forest, fired a few rounds at the Army vehicle passing through the area, which is considered a traditional infiltration route for militants.
