Jammu: An Army dog laid down its life after being hit by a bullet from terrorists during an encounter in the Akhnoor sector of the Jammu region on Monday, the force said. The courage, loyalty and dedication of the canine — Phantom — will never be forgotten, it added. The Army’s Jammu-based White Knight Corps said in a post on X, “We salute the supreme sacrifice of our true hero — a valiant Indian Army dog, Phantom.”
“As our troops were closing in on the trapped terrorists, Phantom drew enemy fire, sustaining fatal injuries,” it added.
