In a fierce eight-hour gunfight in Akhnoor, Jammu, on October 28, Indian Army dog Phantom, a Belgian Malinois, was killed while engaging terrorists. The clash began when militants attacked an ambulance within an army convoy around 7 am. As troops closed in, Phantom drew enemy fire, sustaining fatal injuries. One terrorist was neutralized during the operation, linked to the Jaish-e-Mohammad group. The incident underscores rising tensions, with eight recent terror attacks in the region, resulting in multiple fatalities, including soldiers and civilians. Phantom, a dedicated assault dog, was trained for high-risk operations.
