The Army on July 11 recovered the body of an infiltrator, who was part of a group that made a bid to infiltrate into the Pir Panjal valley’s Nowshera Sector on July 10.
“In a massive search operation lasting more than two days and two nights, in an area that is heavily mined, in inclement weather conditions, the body of one terrorist, who was neutralised, has been recovered with weapon and war-like stores,” Jammu-based Defence spokesman Lt. Col. Suneel Bartwal said.
The Army said a blood trail, with drag marks on ground, were observed during further search operations into the jungle, leading towards the Line of Control (LoC). “Possibly, other injured terrorists taking advantage of the forest foliage managed to move back across the LoC,” Lt. Col. Bartwal said.
