Joint Search Operation Starts In J&K’s Surankote After Suspected Explosion

Jammu : A joint search operation was launched on Wednesday after a loud explosion-like sound was heard in Jammu and Kashmir’s Surankote town.

Officials said a joint search operation was started after the sound was heard in Surankote town of Poonch district.
“The explosion is suspected to have occurred close to an army installation in Surankote town,” officials said adding that further details are awaited.
Terrorists have increased their activities during the last four months in the union territory in the aftermath of peaceful and people-participative Lok Sabha and Legislative Assembly elections.
On their part, security forces, police and the army have started aggressive operations against terrorists, their over-ground workers and sympathisers.
The majority of these terrorist attacks have been reported in the Jammu division, including districts of Poonch, Rajouri, Doda, Kathua, Kishtwar, Reasi and Udhampur.
Some of those dastardly attacks were carried out against unarmed innocent civilians. (Agencies)
