The attack Jammu-based Army PRO Lt Col Devender Anand said, "Around 4.55 am after a brief exchange of fire with sentry on the periphery of the Sunjuwan Military Station, some terrorists entered the family accommodation complex. Quick resp&shy;onse teams have cordoned off the area and isolated the terrorists, who are holed up in a few houses [inside the camp]. Due to the presence of women and children in the colony, the operation is progressing slowly. The terror strike comes 15 months after a similar attack in Nagrota on November 29, 2016, in which seven Army troopers were killed.
