Two Pakistani terrorists were encountered and another was injured on Tuesday night as Indian Army personnel foiled a major infiltration bid along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district, officials said.
The bodies of the slain terrorists were yet to be recovered. There is apprehension that their accomplices, who were pushed back, might have taken these with them from the spot.
Troops intercepted the group when it entered 400 metres into this side from across the LoC in Keri sector of Rajouri around 05:55 hours, triggering a gunfight, the officer said.
“The entire area along the LoC has been cordoned off and searches are going on,” a source said.
On June 1, Army personnel had foiled a similar infiltration bid and killed three heavily-armed intruders in the same area.
