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.

The troops returned fire and reinforcements were rushed to neutralise the terrorists, the officials said, adding that a search operation is underway in the area.

In another development, the officials said Army troops opened fire after observing suspicious movement near the LoC in the Keeri Battal area of Akhnoor sector in Jammu during the intervening night of Tuesday and Wednesday.
