Infiltration bid foiled in Poonch, two infiltrators killed: Indian Army

POONCH — The Indian Army on Wednesday said that it thwarted an infiltration attempt along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch sector, killing two militants in the operation.

According to the Army’s White Knight Corps, the infiltration bid was detected and responded to with precision by alert troops manning forward positions. The militants, who were attempting to cross over under the cover of darkness, were intercepted and neutralized close to the LoC.

Taking to the social media platform X, the Corps posted that it, in a successful anti-infiltration operation, killed two infiltrators attempting to infiltrate across the Line of Control. “Swift action and accurate firepower thwarted the nefarious designs.”

The Army further confirmed the recovery of three weapons from the slain infiltrators, suggesting that the group was likely well-armed and intended to fuel unrest in the Valley.

The success of the operation, according to the Army, was made possible through joint intelligence efforts involving both Army units and the Jammu and Kashmir Police.

“Synergistic and synchronised intelligence inputs from own intelligence units and JKP led to a successful operation,” the Corps added.
