SRINAGAR, Mar 15: The Army on Sunday foiled an infiltration attempt along the Line of Control in the Uri sector of Jammu and Kashmir, killing a Pakistani terrorist during a joint operation with the police, officials said.
According to the Army, the operation was launched during the intervening night of March 14–15 after receiving specific intelligence inputs from Jammu and Kashmir Police about a possible infiltration attempt in the general area of Buchhar in the Uri sector.
Srinagar-based Chinar Corps said in a post on X that troops on patrol detected suspicious movement in a thicket and laid an ambush to intercept the infiltrator.
As the troops challenged the suspect, the terrorist opened indiscriminate fire, leading to a brief exchange of gunfire in which the Pakistani terrorist was killed.
The Army said warlike stores, including an AK rifle, pistols and a large quantity of ammunition, were recovered from the site.
The operation in the area was still underway when the last reports were received, officials added.
