"The injured elite German Shepherd, who was the first to charge at the terrorist hideout and sustained a bullet injury in the exchange of fire, was immediately airlifted for medical treatment and is reported to be safe and stable," an official said.

During the search operations, war-like stores, including three AK-47 rifles, were seized. Three JeM members were killed in the operation carried out on Sunday.
