SRINAGAR: At least four Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) militants stormed the Sunjwan Army camp in Jammu in a predawn fidayeen attack on Saturday and killed two Armymen — a junior commissioned officers (JCO) and non-commissioned officer (NCO) — and injured nine others, including civilians.

Two of the attackers were gunned down after a 12-hour operation, the Army said. Those injured include a Major and daughter of the slain JCO, police sources said.

The police said that the terrorists launched the attack on Sunjwan Milita-rty Station of 36 Brigade around 4.55 am on Saturday after entering from the rear side of the Army camp where family quarters are located.

The attack follows Intelligence inputs warning of an attack on the Army or the security establishment by JeM in view of the death anniversary of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru.
