Foil at the LoC
The Indian Army, in collaboration with the Jammu and Kashmir Police and intelligence agencies, recently foiled an infiltration bid by terrorists along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Uri sector of Baramulla. The operation, a joint effort by these security agencies, showcased the commitment to maintaining peace and security in the region.
Contact and Firefight
During the operation, the alert troops established contact with the infiltrating terrorists, leading to a fierce firefight. The troops acted swiftly and courageously, engaging with the infiltrators to safeguard the nation’s borders and security. In the process, they recovered six pistols and four hand grenades, indicating the militants’ intent and the potential threat they posed.
Terrorists Forced to Withdraw
The swift and effective action by the security forces led to the elimination of two terrorists. However, the remaining infiltrators were forced to withdraw and retreated to the enemy side of the LoC, taking the bodies of their deceased comrades with them.
Adverse Weather Conditions
While the security forces were successful in their operation, they faced adverse weather conditions in the region. Due to these conditions, the search operation had to be temporarily suspended.
