Army Opens Fire on Suspicious Movement in Poonch

In a tense situation near the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district, the Indian Army opened fire after observing suspicious movement in the area on Monday night. The incident took place close to the sensitive border region, where heightened vigilance is always in effect due to the possibility of infiltration attempts.

According to defense officials, army personnel stationed in the area noticed unusual movement near the LoC. Suspecting a potential security threat, the soldiers reacted swiftly by firing several rounds to prevent any breach.

However, no confirmed reports of casualties or injuries have been received so far. Authorities are conducting a thorough search of the area to ensure that no intruders have entered the Indian territory. Local residents have been advised to remain cautious and report any suspicious activity.

The Indian Army frequently engages in preventive measures to secure the LoC, especially in regions like Poonch, which have historically witnessed infiltration attempts from across the border. The situation remains under control, and security forces are on high alert to handle any further developments.

Further details are awaited as the investigation continues.
