The Army on Tuesday said that one terrorist was killed after alert troops foiled an infiltration attempt along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Jhangar area of Nowshera sector in Rajouri district.
In a post on X, the Army’s White Knight Corps said that acting on credible intelligence inputs from intelligence agencies, the movement of two terrorists was detected in the general area of Jhangar, Nowshera along the LoC at around 3 PM on March 10.
It said that alert troops responded with swift and calibrated action and engaged the infiltrators, successfully foiling the infiltration attempt.
“In the ensuing engagement, one Pakistan-sponsored terrorist was eliminated, effectively denying any breach of the LoC,” the Army said.
The Army further said that troops have been reoriented to search for the second terrorist while maintaining strict domination of the area with the help of integrated ground and aerial surveillance.
“A robust operational posture and heightened alert continue across the sector,” the Army added.
