NEW DELHI: Two terrorists were killed as security forces foiled an infiltration bid along the Line of Control (LoC) in Gurez sector of Jammu and Kashmir's Bandipora district, the army said on Thursday.
The operation, codenamed Naushera Nar IV, is being jointly carried out by the army and the Jammu & Kashmir Police (JKP).
“Based on intelligence inputs from JKP regarding a likely infiltration attempt, a joint operation was launched in the Gurez sector. Alert troops spotted suspicious movement and challenged the intruders, who opened indiscriminate fire. Troops retaliated effectively, neutralising two terrorists,” the army’s Srinagar-based Chinar Corps said in a statement on X.
The Chinar Corps added that the operation is still in progress.
On Monday, security forces also foiled an infiltration attempt in the Union Territory's Uri sector. Earlier, on August 13, a soldier was killed in action while troops were repelling a similar bid in the same area.
