Jammu, July 30
The Army on Wednesday foiled an infiltration bid on the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district by killing two intruding terrorists.
“Operation Shivshakti, In a successful anti-infiltration operation, alert troops of the #IndianArmy eliminated two terrorists attempting to infiltrate across the Line of Control. Swift action and accurate firepower thwarted the nefarious designs," the Army’s Nagrota Headquartered White Knight Corps said on X.
Three weapons have been recovered from the dead terrorists.
“Synergistic and synchronised intelligence inputs from own intelligence units and #JKP led to a successful operation. Operation in progress,” White Knight Corps further said.
Earlier in the day, the Army said that two terrorists were spotted near the border fence on the LoC in Poonch district, and a gunfight was underway in the area.
Army’s Poonch interception of terrorists comes just two days after all three terrorists engaged in the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack were killed by the joint forces in Srinagar district during' Operation Mahadev'.
