Jammu and Kashmir: Security forces foil infiltration bid, two terrorists killed
Jammu: Security forces early Monday morning foiled an infiltration bid and eliminated two terrorists along the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir.
Earlier on Sunday, one terrorist was killed while trying to sneak into the Indian Territory in the Khawas area of Rajouri district while the operation was still in progress.
Jammu-based Defence Spokesman, Lt Col Suneel Bartwal, said on Monday that contact was established by ambush in Poonch in the early morning at around 2 AM.
"Two individuals were observed moving across the LoC in the general area of Degwar Terva, Poonch," said the spokesman.
He added that in the firefight, one terrorist was seen dropping, and the second terrorist tried to run back to the Line of Control and was engaged, hit, and seen falling down near the LoC.
The operation was jointly carried out by the Indian Army and Police and is in progress.
