A soldier died under mysterious circumstances after gunshots were heard near the Sunjwan Army Camp in Jammu on Monday (September 2, 2024). The Army has ruled out the incident as a terror attack.
“Initial investigations by the Indian Army suggest that the incident in which a soldier lost his life in the morning is not a militant attack. The cause of the death of the soldier is being investigated,” an Army spokesman said.
Jammu city was put under an alert and an anti-militancy operation was launched on Monday after gunshots were heard near the Army camp. The incident took place between 10.30 and 11.00 a.m. A sentry post, manning the Army’s 36 Infantry Brigade, reported about the incident.
