A recent terrorist attack near the Sunjawan military base in Jammu left an Indian Army jawan injured. The incident occurred when terrorists opened fire from a distance, targeting the area around the base. The injured soldier was immediately taken to the hospital for treatment. Following the attack, security forces locked down the area and launched a search operation to track down the attackers.

This attack is part of a worrying pattern of increasing terrorist activities in the region. Just a few days earlier, security forces in Jammu and Kashmir were engaged in multiple encounters, including in the Kupwara and Rajouri districts, where several terrorists were eliminated.

The Sunjawan military base has previously faced attacks, with a notable incident in 2018 when Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorists stormed the camp, resulting in the deaths of several soldiers and civilians. The area remains a sensitive location due to its strategic importance, and such attacks highlight the ongoing security challenges faced by the armed forces in Jammu and Kashmir.

Despite these challenges, the Indian Army remains committed to maintaining peace and security in the region, continuing to conduct operations to prevent further terrorist activities[The Statesman-TheDailyGuardian].
