The Indian Army responded to suspicious movement along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district by opening fire on Wednesday. Soldiers noticed individuals attempting to cross the fence around 4:30 a.m. today. This action thwarted a potential infiltration, with reinforcements dispatched for a search operation in the area.
On February 19, the Army successfully prevented an infiltration bid in the Sunderbani area of Rajouri district. The White Knight Corps troops detected terrorists’ suspicious movements and effectively countered them with precise fire. Jammu and Kashmir’s LoC spans 740 kilometers across various districts and is safeguarded by the Army, while the international border, stretching 240 kilometers, is protected by the Border Security Force (BSF).
The Army and BSF maintain a presence in the region to combat infiltration, smuggling, and drone activities originating from across the border. Terror groups have previously utilized drones, facilitated by Pakistani forces, to deliver arms, cash, and drugs to sustain terrorism in the region. Security forces in Jammu and Kashmir conduct proactive anti-terror operations targeting terrorists, their support networks, and financial conduits like drug smuggling and hawala rackets.
