Sequence of Recent Attacks
This incident in Doda is part of a recent surge in terrorist activities in the Jammu region. It follows closely on the heels of another attack in the Kathua district, where terrorists fired upon a house in Saida Sukhal village, located in the Hiranagar sector near the International Border (IB). Earlier, on June 9, terrorists targeted a bus carrying pilgrims from a shrine in Reasi district, resulting in the deaths of 10 people and injuries to 33 others.
Links to Previous Incidents
