The Border Security Force on Friday said it foiled an infiltration bid from across the India-Pakistan International Border in Jammu and Kashmir. As per a PTI report, the BSF killed at least seven terrorists and destroyed a Pakistan Rangers post.
The terrorists were engaged around 11 pm on Thursday in Samba district after a "big group" of terrorists were detected by the "surveillance grid".
"This infiltration bid was supported by fire from Pakistan Rangers post Dhandhar," a BSF spokesperson was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
The spokesperson added that BSF troops neutralised the infiltration bid, killing "at least" seven terrorists, causing "extensive" damage to the Dhandhar post.
The BSF also shared a thermal imager clip of the firing and "destruction" of a bunker of the Dhandhar post.
On May 8, Pakistani drones were thwarted across border towns along the Line of Control. As per the official statement from the government, drones were spotted and thwarted in Jammu, Pathankot, Jalandhar, Jaisalmer and other cities across Western states.
This recent escalation from Pakistan comes after India launched Operation Sindoor. The tri-service military operation targeted nine terror camps across 21 locations in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
