According to a statement, two troops perished in the attack, and three more later that day passed away from their wounds.
On Friday, an operation against separatists in Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) resulted in the deaths of five Indian Army personnel and the injury of one more, according to the army.
Since unidentified terrorists opened fire on an Indian Army vehicle last month, the Indian military forces have conducted a number of operations in the Rajouri sector of the Himalayan area.
An region that is "thickly vegetated with rocky and steep cliffs" was where a military search team discovered a number of separatists on Friday morning, according to a statement from the army.
The army said that the terrorists had activated an explosive device as payback.
Three more troops later that day passed away from their wounds, adding to the two men who perished in the attack.
