Terrorist attack took place in the Poonch sector 5 Jawans were Killed

Poonch, 21 Apr 2023: On April 20, 2023, a terrorist attack took place in the Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir, India. The attack targeted an Indian Army patrol, and reports suggest that 5 Jawans were Killed and several soldiers were injured in the attack. The details of the attack are still emerging, and investigations are underway.

The Indian Army has released the names of five soldiers killed in a terrorist attack on a truck in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch on Thursday. The deceased soldiers are Havildar Mandeep Singh, lance naik Debashish Baswal, lance naik Kulwant Singh, sepoy Harkrishan Singh and Sepoy Sewak Singh, the Army's 16 Corps based in Nagrota said.

The victims were attached to the Army’s Rashtriya Rifles unit and were deployed for counterterrorist operations in the area.

The incident took place after the vehicle they were traveling in was fired upon by terrorists in the Rajouri sector in Jammu leading to the death of five soldiers, and injuring another. Operations were launched to trace the perpetrators, but so far there was no clarity yet on the attackers.

The Poonch sector is located in the western part of Jammu and Kashmir and is close to the Line of Control (LoC) between India and Pakistan. The area has witnessed several instances of cross-border terrorism and infiltration attempts in the past.

The attack is believed to have been carried out by militants affiliated with terrorist organizations based in Pakistan. The Indian government has repeatedly accused Pakistan of supporting and sheltering terrorist groups that operate in Jammu and Kashmir.

The attack has been condemned by the Indian government, political leaders, and citizens across the country. The Indian Army has vowed to take strong action against those responsible for the attack and has launched a search operation in the area.

India and Pakistan have been escalating

The attack comes at a time when tensions between India and Pakistan have been escalating, with both sides accusing each other of violating ceasefire agreements and targeting civilians along the LoC. The international community has called for restraint and dialogue between the two countries to resolve their long-standing issues.

The attack in the Poonch sector is a stark reminder of the threat posed by terrorism and the need for countries to work together to combat this menace. It is also a testament to the bravery and sacrifice of the Indian Army, which continues to defend the country's borders and citizens from such attacks. The incident highlights the need for increased vigilance and security measures to prevent such attacks in the future.
