Jammu Tawi, Jan 29
The security forces in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) foiled an infiltration bid after terrorists tried to cross the international border near Line of Control (LoC) in Gohala area, Uri in Baramulla district. Noticing the movement, security forces opened fire at militants forcing them to rush back, therefore, foiling the infiltration bid. Meanwhile, heavy firing from both the sides was underway. It appears that firing from the Pakistani side was being done in order to provide cover to the militants.

Even we are ready. We will keep receiving them (infiltrators) to dispatch them two-and-a-half feet below the ground.”
