Three to four Fidayeen Militants have attacked an Indian Army camp in Uri in Jammu and Kashmir. The camp at Mohra in Uri is near the Line of Control (LOC).
The fidayeen squad tried to force their way inside the Indian Army camp in Uri. However, the guards intercepted them at the gate.
The sentries (guards) of the army camp observed suspicious movement near the boundary wall of the camp at 3 am on Monday. They opened fire at the men moving around the camp suspiciously. The police have said that there may have been casualties during the exchange of fire but no dead bodies have been found as yet.
The area has been cordoned off and security forces are carrying out a search operation to nab the militants. It is suspected that the militants are hiding in a forest nearby.

The search operation in the area is being carried out jointly by Indian Army and the police.
Jammu and Kashmir Police has issued a statement in this regard and confirmed the developments so far.
