The courage, loyalty and dedication of the canine -- Phantom -- will never be forgotten, it added.

Born on May 25, 2020, the male Belgian Malinois was an assault dog and posted with a unit on August 12, 2022, after graduating from Remount Veterinary Corps in Uttar Pradesh's Meerut, an Army official said.

The Army's Jammu-based White Knight Corps said in a post on X, "We salute the supreme sacrifice of our true hero -- a valiant Indian Army dog, Phantom." "As our troops were closing in on the trapped terrorists, Phantom drew enemy fire, sustaining fatal injuries," it added.
