Srinagar: Two terrorists carried out a suicide attack on an Army company operating base in Pargal in the Darhal area of Rajouri, Jammu and Kashmir, news agency ANI reported on Wednesday. Both terrorists have been killed while four soldiers also lost their lives. The area has been cordoned off and additional forces have been dispatched to the base.

The Indian Army officials told the news agency that one Officer was also among the injured in the terrorist attack and had been rushed for medical treatment. 16 Corps Commander Lt Gen Manjinder Singh is constantly monitoring the situation on the ground, the officials said.
