According to police sources, " At least two terrorists attacked the family quarters at Sunjawan Army camp in Jammu and Kashmir early this morning and fired indiscriminately injuring a hawaldar and his daughter." The firing has ended and the area has been cordoned off. Schools within 500 metres of the camp have been asked to remain closed by the district administration.

It is believed to be a fidayeen attack by Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists, the first such attack in Jammu this year, police sources told. The military station, spread over many acres, lies in the heart of Jammu. It has residential quarters as well as schools inside. The terrorists used the rear side to enter the camp.

"And around at 4.55 am, the suspicious movement was noticed, and the sense bunker was fired upon and they retaliated. The terrorists have been cornered in one of the family quarters. The operation is on," Jammu Inspector General of Police SD Singh Jamwal was quoted as saying by news agency of ANI.

The station was attacked about 10 years ago and many jawans were killed then. "It's not clear how many terrorists entered the camp and how did they manage to do that," a senior police officer said.
