Terrorist Killed As Army, J&K Police Foil Infiltration Bid At LoC In Kashmir's Kupwara

According to the Army, the troops deployed in an anti-infiltration grid detected the movement of three terrorists across the LoC while they were approaching the LoC fence.

New Delhi: The Indian Army and Jammu and Kashmir Police in a joint operation foiled an infiltration attempt along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Tangdhar sector of Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday. One terrorist has been killed in the operation and searches are still continuing in the area.

According to the Army, the troops deployed in an anti-infiltration grid detected the movement of three terrorists across the LoC while they were approaching the LoC fence.

Confirming the incident, the official handle of Kashmir zone police tweeted, “During the preceding night, based on a specific input generated by Kupwara police, a joint team of Army & Police intercepted an infiltrating group in Saidpora forward area. The joint team has neutralised one infiltrator. Search is still going on. Further details shall follow."

“Indian Army eliminated an infiltration attempt in forward areas of Tangdhar sector on the night of 15/16 February 2023, thereby preventing efforts of Pakistan to destabilise peace and tranquillity in Kashmir valley and successfully maintaining higher moral ascendancy over the enemy along the Line of Control,” a defence spokesman said.

“On being challenged at close proximity to the post, an intense firefight ensued between the terrorists and alert troops, resulting in successful elimination of one terrorist, while grievously injuring the other. The injured terrorist managed to flee to PoJK, along with the third terrorist, taking advantage of darkness,” he added.

An AK series rifle, one light automatic weapon, six magazines, two grenades and large quantity of war-like stores was also recovered.

“Continued infiltration bids along the LoC are an uncanny reminder of Pakistan’s efforts to orchestrate terrorism in Kashmir valley and disrupt peace and harmony, while putting on the facade of ceasefire understanding,” he added.

The spokesman stated that a search operation was launched in the morning following which a body was recovered.
