The Army on Monday foiled an infiltration bid and killed two infiltrators near the Line of Control in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir.
“In the morning of August 21, two terrorists were detected by alert troops to be making attempts to cross the LoC onto our side making use of inclement weather, dense fog, thick foliage and undulating ground in the Hamirpur area of Balakote Sector. As the terrorists approached our ambush sites, they were challenged and then engaged with effective fire,” Jammu-based defence spokesman Lt. Col. Suneel Bartwal said.
The Army fire, the spokesman said, forced the terrorists to flee from the ambush site. “Effective fire resulted in one terrorist falling down on the ground near the LoC,” the Army said.
