Army sentry injured in brief exchange of fire amid chaos of hovering drones in Jammu's Nagrota
'The sentry noticed the suspicious movement and opened fire. There was a brief exchange of two rounds following which the suspected terrorists fled,' said a source in the security establishment, adding that the injured personnel was rushed to the hospital and is out of danger. New Delhi: An army personnel was injured in a brief exchange of fire with an unidentified assailant at a sentry post in Jammu's Nagrota Saturday evening. The sentry opened fire amid widespread chaos caused by drones hovering over multiple locations, ThePrint has learnt. 'This was not a fidayeen attack, and no beheading occurred, contrary to what is being circulated in some media outlets. The injured person is stable and out of danger,' a source said. On Saturday evening, social media posts, including one by a former Brigadier, claimed that terrorists in army uniforms had carried out a beheading in Nagrota. Similarly, news agency ANI initially posted on X about a 'terrorist attack in Nagrota', but subsequently removed the post. Jammu & Kashmir Police have reached the location and initiated a formal investigation. Less than four hours after a ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan came into effect Saturday, drones were sighted and explosions were heard in parts of Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, and Gujarat. However, the situation is now said to be calm, with blackout restrictions eased in some parts of these border states. The ceasefire was first announced by US President Donald Trump and confirmed by both Pakistan's Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) and Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri. The agreement followed a conversation between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both countries earlier in the day. In a late-night media briefing, Misri said there had been 'repeated violations of the understanding reached by the two countries', calling it a 'breach of trust'. He emphasised that the Indian armed forces were giving an adequate response to these violations and urged Pakistan to take appropriate steps and handle the situation responsibly.
