\"\"Jammu: A massive forest fire has broken out at multiple locations in the forests of Rajouri district in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), triggering panic among residents of nearby villages.<\/p>\n

Firefighting operations are underway to prevent the blaze from spreading further, officials said.<\/p>\n
