Meanwhile, the security forces killed all four Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terrorists. The militants had sneaked into the 36 Brigade Sunjuwan military station, which has over 150 houses in the campus and lodges over 3,500 troops, in the early hours of Saturday from a canal on the rear end of the premises.
A red alert was sounded in the city and the district administration of Jammu had also asked schools within 500 meters of the camp to remain closed as a precautionary measure.
Nine people were injured in the attack. Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti paid a visit to the injured at the Military Hospital in Jammu on Saturday evening.
