once again repelled the attack

It’s been a tense few hours here following a pair of audacious attempts to breach the security perimeter of Jammu city. Just hours after an initial strike was successfully thwarted, suspected Pakistan-backed elements launched a second, more intense barrage in the early hours of this morning. However, our vigilant security forces, demonstrating remarkable preparedness and resolve, once again repelled the attack, preventing any significant incursion or damage. The initial attempt, which occurred late last night, involved a smaller number of projectiles aimed at the outskirts of the city. Alert security personnel swiftly detected the incoming threat and engaged the attackers, effectively neutralizing the immediate danger. While details are still emerging, sources indicate that the first assault was likely a probing action, perhaps intended to test response times and identify vulnerabilities in the city’s defenses. Undeterred, or perhaps emboldened by the initial attempt, the perpetrators launched a more substantial barrage in the pre-dawn hours. This second wave involved a greater volume of fire, targeting a wider area that appeared to include more central locations within Jammu. The sound of explosions and heavy gunfire echoed across the city, jolting residents awake and triggering an immediate and robust response from the combined security forces, including the army, paramilitary units, and local police. Eyewitness accounts from various parts of Jammu describe a coordinated and forceful counter-offensive. Security personnel were seen swiftly moving to intercept the incoming fire, engaging the attackers at multiple points. The professionalism and efficiency displayed by our forces were evident as they worked to contain the threat and ensure the safety of the civilian population. As the sun began to rise, the intensity of the attack subsided, with security forces confirming that the second barrage had also been successfully repelled. While the immediate threat has been neutralized, security remains significantly heightened across Jammu and surrounding areas. Authorities have launched a comprehensive search operation to locate any remaining attackers or potential threats. Roadblocks have been established, and stringent checks are being conducted on vehicles and individuals entering and leaving the city. Intelligence agencies are actively working to ascertain the exact nature of the attacks, the number of individuals involved, and their precise affiliations. However, initial assessments strongly suggest the involvement of terror groups operating from across the border in Pakistan. This latest double strike follows a pattern of increased attempts to destabilize the region, and security analysts believe it could be a desperate attempt to disrupt the prevailing peace and security. The resilience and effectiveness of our security forces in thwarting both attacks are commendable and serve as a strong reassurance to the citizens of Jammu. Their swift and decisive action prevented what could have been a far more serious situation. Authorities have urged the public to remain calm and cooperate with security personnel, while also assuring them that all necessary measures are being taken to ensure their safety and security. This morning’s events serve as a stark reminder of the persistent threats emanating from across the border. However, they also underscore the unwavering commitment and capability of our security apparatus to protect the nation’s integrity and the well-being of its citizens. The situation is being closely monitored at the highest levels, and further updates will be provided as they become available.
