Close on the heels of an incident of a firing on an army truck in Sunderbani area of Rajouri district, the White Knight Corps on Thursday said that “the firing was ineffective” and that “there were no casualties of army men”. The White Knight Corps relayed the information on X. “Terrorists opened fire at an #IndianArmy convoy in Sunderbani, #Akhnoor, yesterday.
The firing was ineffective, and our own troops responded swiftly. Some social media handles are falsely claiming casualties to own troops. This is false and deliberate disinformation.
Search operations are presently underway to neutralise the perpetrators,” it stated. At 1300 hours (1 pm), an army vehicle was fired upon at Phall Village near Water Tank, a forest area, on Sunderbani-Malla road close to the LoC on Wednesday. Around two rounds were fired upon the patrol vehicle that belonged to 9 JAK rifles.
