In the wake of a brutal attack on army vehicles in Jammu’s Poonch district, that left five soldiers dead, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, accompanied by Chief of the Army Staff General Manoj Pande, arrived in Jammu to conduct a comprehensive review of the security situation in the region.

The assailants, heavily armed, ambushed two Army vehicles near Thanamandi in the Rajouri sector last Thursday. The Poonch attack also left three soldiers injured.
