Indian Army and Jammu and Kashmir (J-K) police successfully thwarted an infiltration attempt by terrorists in the Uri sector of J-K’s Baramulla district on Friday, as per official sources. The area is currently witnessing ongoing gunfire.
An official statement from Army sources reported, “Infiltration bid foiled by Indian Army and J&K Police in Sabura nala URI sector. The contact was established between troops and terrorists early morning today and operations are still on. Firing is still going on. More details awaited.”
This recent incident comes after a similar event in December last year, when the Indian Army’s 16 Corps, known as the ‘White Knight Corps’, intercepted an infiltration bid in the International Border sector at Khour in the Akhnoor sector of Jammu district. The White Knight Corps stated, “White Knight Corps foiled an infiltration bid in the IB sector of Khour, Akhnoor. A suspected move by four terrorists was seen through the surveillance devices on the night of December 22-23.”
