Jammu, May 12: Alert troops of the Army foiled an infiltration bid on the Line of Control in J&K’s Poonch district on Tuesday, during which one intruding terrorist was killed.
Nagrota-headquartered White Knight Corps of the Army said on X: “Acting on persistent surveillance, suspicious movement was detected approximately 300 metres inside own territory in the general area of Krishna Ghati Sector, Poonch, along the Line of Control at around 4 p.m. today.”
“Alert troops of White Knight Corps swiftly responded and foiled the infiltration bid, ensuring no breach of the Line of Control. One intruder has been neutralised. Own troops continue to dominate the area and maintain a high state of operational readiness across the sector.”
“The Knight stands vigilant — every infiltration bid will fail. We serve, we protect!” the post added.
The incident took place along the Line of Control in the Krishna Ghati forward area when alert troops detected a group of infiltrating terrorists from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir inside Indian territory and challenged them, triggering a gun battle, the Army said.
A search operation is still going on in the area.
