The Army deployed a trained dog on Monday to snatch weapons from two holed-up militants during an anti-militancy operation in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district. However, the dog, named Zoom, and a soldier, were injured in the encounter.
An Army spokesperson said Zoom, an Army assault dog, was deployed in the target house to retrieve the weapon from terrorists and pull them out of hiding in the Tangpawa area, where an anti-militancy operation was launched on October 9 evening.
