At least one militant was still taking refuge in a bunker and the encounter was underway, police said. The bunkers are abandoned and used only during war.
Modi is due to address a rally on Friday in Udhampur district, which is 100 km from Arnia. "Three civilians have lost their lives along with 3 Army personnel, my condolences to the families. 4 militants have been neutralised in Arnia," Chief Minister Omar Abdullah tweeted. "The timing of the attack in Arnia can't be a coincidence," he said, adding "Some things will never change, Saarc summit is on, Ind & Pak PMs (sic) at the same venue and a fierce encounter breaks out in Jammu."There were conflicting reports on the civilian casualty.
