At least 24 people have been detained for questioning as the hunt for the terrorists behind the ambush in Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua district, in which five Army personnel were killed, entered its third day on Wednesday, officials said.
The search operation by the Army and police is underway amid intermittent heavy rain in dense forests across four districts, besides Kathua. It was launched from three different areas - Kathua, Udhampur and Bhaderwah, an official said.
Security forces have detained 24 people for questioning in connection with the ambush, they said, as efforts continued to track down and neutralise the terrorists who are believed to be hiding in a forest.
