JAMMU: A joint team of security forces foiled an infiltration bid and shot dead two terrorists along the Line of Control (LoC) in Mandi sub-sector of Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district on Wednesday.
Sharing details of the anti-infiltration operation, Jammu-based defence spokesperson Lt Col Suneel Bartwal said: “Two terrorists were observed crossing over the LoC and coming towards the Indian side late Tuesday night in Mandi sub-sector, following which a joint operation was launched by the Army and J&K Police to intercept the terrorists.”
The terrorists took advantage of the hostile terrain, dense jungle, and steep gradient to rain heavy fire on the security forces, Lt Col Bartwal said, adding: “In the ensuing firefight, which continued till today (Wednesday), both terrorists were killed. During a subsequent combing operation, the body of one terrorist was recovered along with arms and ammunition, while searches continued to trace the second terrorist’s body.”
Meanwhile, a search operation continued in Kalaban region of Reasi district — where security forces had killed a “hardcore” terrorist in Tuli-Chasana area on Monday — to trace another terrorist who had managed to escape from the encounter site.
