Soldiers fired 5,189 rounds, forced terrorists to retreat: officials after Kathua ambush

Two days after the ambush in Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua district that killed five army personnel, officials are piecing together the events. Heavily armed terrorists attacked the 22 Garhwal regiment's convoy, but the jawans fired over 5,100 rounds to protect their injured colleagues and repel the terrorists. Despite injuries, soldiers like Rifleman Kartik Singh continued fighting. The ambush, claimed by the Kashmir Tigers, marks an escalation in violence. Security forces are conducting extensive search operations in Kathua and neighboring districts to apprehend the terrorists.
