| Two infiltration bids by militants foiled by Army | | | SRINAGAR: The Army foiled two infiltration bids by heavily-armed militants today along the Line of Control (LoC) in Kupwara district, a defence spokesman said.
The attempts by militants to sneak into the Kashmir Valley from across the border were plugged by troops stationed in Bangus valley and Keran sector, he said.
The spokesman said the troops challenged the infiltrating militants who opened fire and returned in the face of retaliation.
There was no immediate report of any casualty in the exchange of fire between the two sides, he said, adding that a massive search operation was undertaken to ensure that the militants would not be able to infiltrate into the Valley.
This is the eighth infiltration bid foiled by troops in Kupwara district over the past 10 days. Four Army personnel including a Junior Commissioned Officer and five militants were killed in the gun battles following the infiltration bids. |
