Following the terror attack on troops in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch that claimed the lives of five soldiers the previous day, the Indian Army has launched a massive operation on Friday to hunt down a group of around six to seven terrorists who are behind this attack.

As a follow up the Indian Army has launched multiple operations to nab the terror group.

"Multiple special forces teams along with drones and surveillance helicopters have been rushed to the area to help carry out search and destroy ops there," local media reported.
