A bus carrying pilgrims was ambushed by terrorists on Sunday (June 09), plunging into a deep gorge near Teryath village in the Poni area.
The attack occurred while the bus was traveling from the Shiv Khori temple to the Mata Vaishno Devi shrine in Katra.
The terrorists opened fire as the bus approached a bend, causing it to lose control and fall into the gorge.
This method of targeting vehicles at bends, a pattern seen in previous attacks in Rajouri and Poonch, exploits the slow speed of vehicles to maximize harm.
The attackers unleashed indiscriminate fire before retreating into the dense foliage, a tactic that presents significant challenges for security forces in the Jammu region.
The dense mountainous terrain provides cover for the terrorists, making it difficult for authorities to detect and apprehend them.
