There have been several attacks, ceasefire violations and infiltration attempts since the Indian Army carried out surgical strikes across the Line of Control on September 29 this year.

At least three soldiers lost their lives, while two others were injured after two to three terrorists opened fire at an Indian Army convoy on the Srinagar-Jammu highway in the Pampore town of Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district on December 18.
