The victims, who were reportedly working as porters with the Army, were approaching the alpha gate of an Army camp in the district around 6.15 am when they were fired upon. On December 28, four militants were neutralized in a gunfight that broke out between security forces and militants in the Sidhra area of the Jammu district.
