They escaped in a truck that they hijacked after killing the driver and surfaced in an Army cantonment in the adjoining Samba district, where they have reportedly killed at least six Indian Army personnel including Lt. Col
There was reportedly confusion and chaos at the cantonment, which houses an armoured corp unit, as the rebels are dressed in Army uniform. They were not stopped at the gate and walked into a mess, where they attacked and killed troopers.
As per army sources, "The heavily armed rebels have now been reportedly identified and surrounded. A gun-battle is on."
