One intruder was killed after the Border Security Force (BSF) foiled an infiltration bid on the International Border (IB) in Jammu, the force said on Saturday.
"In the intervening night of 04 April/05 April 2025, the alert BSF troops observed a suspicious movement across the IB in Jammu border area and an intruder was observed crossing the IB. He was challenged by the alert BSF troops but paid no heed and kept on moving," the BSF said in a statement on Saturday.
"BSF troops, sensing a threat, neutralised the intruder. The identity and motive of the intruder is being ascertained," the statement added.
The BSF further said that after its vigilant troops thwarted an infiltration attempt, a strong protest was being lodged with Pakistani Rangers.
There have been a series of encounters between terrorists and security forces across Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) in the recent past, in which many terrorists and their commanders have been eliminated even as Pakistan is trying to step up infiltration at the Line of Control and send consignments of weapons.
