Two terrorists killed along LoC during infiltration bid in Jammu and Kashmir

A search operation has been launched in the area, and an anti-terror operation is underway. 

The operation occurred near Naushehra Naar, where alert troops engaged a group of infiltrators attempting to cross into Indian territory, killing two terrorists in the exchange of fire.

Army detected movement along LoC

Army's Chinar Corps said security forces picked up suspicious movement along the LoC following an intelligence input and engaged the terrorists in gunfire, after which they were killed and an infiltration attempt foiled.

Based on intelligence provided by JKP regarding likely infiltration attempt, a joint operation was launched by Indian Army and @JmuKmrPolice in Gurez Sector. Alert troops spotted suspicious activity and challenged, which resulted in terrorists opening indiscriminate fire. Troops responded with effective fire, neutralising two terrorists. Operation is in progress," the Army said in a post on X.

Search operation underway

After the encounter, security forces launched a search operation in the surrounding area to ensure no additional infiltrators or suspicious activity were present.

Earlier this month, in a separate counter-terror operation under Operation Akhal, three terrorists were killed and one soldier injured, bringing the total number of terrorists eliminated in that operation to six.

On August 2, security forces killed three militants during an encounter in the Akhal forest area. The operation had begun on August 1, following intelligence reports about the presence of armed militants in the dense forest region.
