Alert troops of the Army successfully stopped an infiltration attempt on the Line of Control in J&K’s Poonch district. The incident occurred in the Krishna Ghati forward area, where intruding terrorists from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir were confronted by vigilant soldiers, leading to a gun battle. One terrorist was neutralized during the operation.
The White Knight Corps, based in Nagrota, detected suspicious movement about 300 meters inside Indian territory. Swift action by the troops prevented any breach of the Line of Control. The area remains under tight security, with troops maintaining a high level of operational readiness.
The Army continues to conduct a search operation in the region to ensure no further threats exist. J&K’s Line of Control spans 740 kilometers, covering various districts in the Valley and Jammu division. Additionally, there is a 240-km International Border safeguarded by the Border Security Force.
The Army and Border Security Force work diligently to prevent activities like infiltration, exfiltration, and smuggling. These efforts are crucial in countering terrorist outfits’ attempts, often supported by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence. Drones are frequently used to transport illicit items, posing a significant challenge that security forces actively address.
