JAMMU: An Army captain was critically wounded and four terrorists believed to be killed in an ongoing operation in the higher reaches of Jammu region's Doda district on Wednesday, officials said.
The encounter broke out in a thickly forested area during a cordon and search operation (CASO) launched by a joint team to track down a group of foreign terrorists hiding in the Shivgarh-Assar belt, they said. A civilian was also injured in the gunbattle that came a day ahead of Independence Day.
Four blood-soaked rucksacks were recovered from the site. M-4 carbines were also found, the officials said.
