Heavily armed militants Tuesday opened heavy fire at an Army camp in Nagrota on the outskirts of the city in Jammu killing three soldiers.

Reports said that firing has been on for hours between the army and the militants, who attacked the camp around 5.30 am with grenades.

Four militants are suspected to be hiding in the camp.

Nagrota, which is around 20 km from Jammu, is the headquarters of the army’s 16 Corps, a massive military formation that defends the borders and fights terrorists in the greater Jammu region.

The army has cordoned off the area and all schools have been shut down. Traffic has been stopped on the highway, which is very close to the camp.
