NEW DELHI: High alert declared in the Jammu, after three militants fired indiscriminately in the Mishriwala area near in the city on Wednesday, killing four civilians and one Junior Commissioned Officer. Reports suggest that the three militants were travelling in an autorickshaw, after killing the driver.

The militants are believed to be trapped in a house at Chinore, where they fled with the help of the autorickshaw. Sources said that these three militants are the ones who entered the Indian side via Kanachak in the Akhnoor sector on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, Pakistani troops opened firing at the International Border, as yet another ceasefire violation was reported, after the armed forces provided cover firing to facilitate the infiltration of militants to the Indian side.
