At least one person was killed and three others injured in a terror attack in the Dayalachak area of Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua District early on Friday morning.
According to local media reports, four militants in combat uniform stopped a white Bolero a little after 5 a.m. and fired indiscriminately at the passengers sitting inside. They later hijacked the Bolero and fled from the spot.
Police and security forces have reportedly launched a search for the terrorists and the nabbed car.
The injured have been shifted to a government hospital in Jammu.
The attack took place near Hiranagar, close to an army area, and is just a few kilometres from international border.
Police suspect that the attack was carried out by the militants who sneaked in recently.
Hiranagar was the place attacked in September last year by three militants. Then, four people were killed and two were injured.
