Earlier this month, five soliders were killed and six others were injured after terrorists ambushed an Army convoy in Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua district. The attack took place in the Machedi area when terrorists opened fire on a routine patrol vehicle of the Indian Army.

When the security forces retaliated, the terrorists escaped to a nearby forest area.

Reinforcements were rushed to the spot to bring the situation under control as shots were being exchanged between the forces and the terrorists.

 Defence Minister Rajnath Sinh expressed anguish over the lives lost in the terrorist attack.

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi also expressed his condolences over the attack, saying the "cowardly attacks on our army are highly condemnable".

On June 12 and 13, two terrorists and one CRPF jawan were killed in a gunfight during a search and cordon operation .
