J&K News: At least two terrorist were killed after security forces foiled an infiltration bid along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Uri sector of Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla district on Saturday. A dead body of a terrorist was recovered by the security forces on Sunday during the ongoing anti-infiltration operation in J&K’s Uri sector.
“A dead body of the terrorist was recovered today while the search for the other dead terrorist is going on,” news agency IANS reported, citing an official. He said that the operation is still going on in the area.
A group terrorists were challenged by the security forces on the LoC in the Uri sector. Infiltrators were trying to enter India through the international border. The encounter broke out after army personnel noticed suspicious movement along the LoC in the Uri sector.
The latest infiltration attempt from across the border has come at a time when major terrorist incidents have been reported in Jammu and Kashmir in the last 15 days.
Jammu & Kashmir has been hit by simultaneous terrorist attacks. The first attack was launched on a tourist bus carrying Amarnath pilgrims on June 9 in Reasi. Ten people, including an infant, were killed in the attack while more than 40 were injured. The same day, a major incident was averted when a joint team of Special Operations Group, the Army and the CRPF recovered explosives in Pulwama
The second and third attacks were carried out simultaneously in Doda and Kathua on Tuesday. In the Kathua attack, two terrorists opened fire on security forces. Both of them were taken down.
In the Doda attack, one soldier was killed and six others, including a special police officer, were injured when militants opened fire on the Indian Army's Temporary Operating Base (TOB) in Doda district, Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. The Kashmir Tigers, a local militant group, has claimed responsibility for the attack.
