Elaborating on the incident, Jammu Defence Pro said, "A group of terrorists were attempting to infiltrate across LoC in Krishna Ghati Sector of Poonch district today. Indian Army troops detected the terrorists and immediately engaged them resulting in on the spot killing of one terrorist and serious injuries to two" "Pakistan markings on the eatables and a few other items clearly indicate the complicity of Pakistan in sponsoring terror activists in Jammu and Kashmir," the spokesman said, adding that "Subsequent search in the area showed that the terrorist's body had been dragged away from the site."
