Lucknow: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday said all necessary actions are being followed in the wake of the militant attack on an Army camp in Jammu and Kashmir`s Samba district.

"We are in touch with the concerned authorities in the state. We have got a call from the Deputy Chief Minister and we have also received information from the intelligence. The necessary actions that are required are being taken," Rajnath Singh told a news agency.

Earlier in the day, Defence PRO Lt Colonel Manish Mehta said no civilian or soldier had been injured in the Samba terror attack.

Mehta said, as per inputs received so far, two people were likely involved in the attack but added that it was difficult to say whether they were from the same group which attacked a police station in Kathua yesterday.

The Samba incident is the second such terror attack in the state in the past 24 hours. The Jammu-Pathankot highway has been sealed following the incident.

Six people, including two militants, were killed yesterday when the Rajbagh police station in Kathua district was attacked yesterday.
