The next 24-48 hours are critical & he is under close observation of the medical team at Army Veterinary Hospital in Srinagar, the officials added.
The canine suffered injuries during an anti-terror operation in Kokernag, Anantnag when Zoom attacked terrorists and received two bullet injuries. However, despite injuries, Zoom continued with his task, resulting in the neutralization of two terrorists.

The security forces launched a cordon and search operation in the Tangpawa area of south Kashmir late on Sunday after receiving specific input about the presence of terrorists in the region.
On Monday morning, the Army sent its assault dog named ‘Zoom’ inside the house where the terrorists were hiding, the officials said. “Zoom is a highly trained, ferocious, and committed canine. Has been trained to locate and bring down terrorists,” officials added.
They further added that Zoom has been a part of several anti-terror ops in the valley and as usual, was tasked with the responsibility of clearing the house where terrorists were holed up.
Despite sustaining severe injuries, the canine kept on fighting and helped the Army in neutralising the two terrorists. The terrorists were later identified as members of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba.
