The security forces on Saturday (5 October) thwarted an infiltration attempt along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir, resulting in the killing of two terrorists.
The operation was initiated based on intelligence inputs that indicated a possible infiltration attempt in the heavily guarded Kupwara region, a known hotspot for militant activity due to its proximity to the LoC.
The Indian Army’s Chinar Corps, which oversees security in the Kashmir Valley, swiftly acted upon the intelligence, and a joint operation with the Jammu and Kashmir Police was launched.
In an update on Saturday, the Chinar Corps said that two terrorists were eliminated by the security forces.
"War-like stores have been recovered. Search of the area is underway and operation is in progress," it said.
