ProMASS News Bureau: Sep 20, 2016: Infiltration from Pakistan side remains unabated despite condemnation from world community. However, Indian Army’s rock solid defense proved too strong for the infiltrators. Indian Army foiled two infiltration bids from across the border in Kashmir today killing some of the terrorists while losing a jawan. The attempts to cross the Line of Control (LoC) in Uri and Nowgam sectors came while Pakistani troops violated ceasefire and fired at Indian positions in Uri sector.
Earlier, Army sources in Delhi put the number of terrorists killed at 10 and later clarified that the number of terrorists killed can be ascertained only after the retrieval of the bodies from the dense jungles. The sources said, a group of 15 terrorists had attempted to infiltrate into Indian territory through the LoC.
Official sources said, troops noticed a group of terrorists sneaking into Indian side from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. When challenged and asked to surrender, the ultras opened fire with automatic weapons and the troops also retaliated in response.
Sources said, in the second encounter at Handwara in Nowgam sector, security forces and state police launched a joint operation after receiving specific information about the presence of the ultras and when challenged terrorists opened fire with automatic weapons. A security jawan was injured during the act who later succumbed to his injuries.
