Srinagar, Feb 11 (Deccan Chronicle): Five soldiers and a civilian have been killed in the Sunjwan Army camp attack in Jammu. Four of the terrorists have been gunned down in the anti-terror operation which is still on.

Eleven people have been injured, including women and children.

A group of heavily-armed Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorists who wore Army combat uniform attacked the family quarters in the camp on Saturday.

Most of the camp residents in over 150 houses were evacuated to flush out other terrorists.

Army Chief General Bipin Rawat arrived at the camp late on Saturday night and was briefed on the situation by two commanders.

Jammu is on high alert and schools near the Army camp have been closed.

The police said that the terrorists launched the attack on Sunjwan Military Station of 36 Brigade around 4.55 am on Saturday after entering from the rear side of the Army camp where family quarters are located.

The attack follows Intelligence inputs warning of an attack on the Army or the security establishment by JeM in view of the death anniversary of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru.

    It all happens as some on this side of the border provide logistics support to these terrorists based on religion.
