Srinagar: Indian Army foiled an infiltration attempt along the line of control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri in early hours of Tuesday. One soldier was injured during the exchange of heavy fire with the infiltrating terrorists.
The operation in the Battal sector is underway, officials said.
“Alert troops foiled an #infiltration bid by effectively engaging infiltrating #terrorists with effective fire in the #Battal Sector at 0300h. During the exchange of heavy fire, one braveheart has been injured. Operations are continuing,” Indian Army’s White Knight Corps (16 Corps) said in an X post.
This comes a day after terrorists attacked house of a Village Defence Guard (VDG) member in Gundha, Rajouri on Monday. However, an alert Army unit nearby responded swiftly preventing major loss. Parshottam Kumar, recently awarded the Shaurya Chakra by President Droupadi Murmu, was the target of the attack. His uncle, Vijay Kumar, was injured, and a cow was killed in the gunfire.
This year has seen a surge in terror attacks across Jammu, resulting in 27 deaths, including 11 security personnel, a village defense guard, and five terrorists. Nearly a dozen attacks have occurred in six districts.
