In another obvious effort to destabilize India, seven well-armed infiltrators, who were believed to be members of the proscribed terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), were killed by the Border Security Force (BSF) in a high-intensity operation in Jammu’s Samba sector. The attempted infiltration on the intervening night of May 8-9 was picked up by BSF’s sophisticated surveillance grid, and it led to instant and deadly retribution.
As per a BSF spokesperson, “In Samba sector of Jammu Frontier BSF, in the intervening night of 8th and 9th of May 2025, an infiltration attempt by a big group of terrorists has been tried, which was detected by surveillance grid. This infiltration bid was supported by fire from Pak Rangers post Dhandhar. Alert troops of BSF, neutralised the infiltration bid, killing at least 7 terrorists and caused extensive damage to the Pak Post Dhandhar.”

Operation Sindoor: India’s Calculated Response to Pahalgam Attack
This infiltration attempt is part of a larger offensive plan, with Pakistan also trying to strike at Jammu, Pathankot, and Jaisalmer. It came soon after the horrific Pahalgam terror attack that killed 25 tourists and one local pony guide. Indian armed forces retaliated with Operation Sindoor, a targeted military operation against JeM training camps and hideouts deep within Pakistan territory.
The Indian Army released a summary of Pakistan’s larger assault. Pakistan Armed Forces attempted a series of attacks using drones and other ammunition across the whole Western Border during the intervening night of 08 and 09 May 2025. Pak soldiers also made extensive ceasefire violations (CFVs) across the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. All malign schemes shall be countered by strength.”
India’s Message: Zero Tolerance towards Terrorism
By these targeted attacks and aggressive border defence, India has reiterated its firm commitment to national security and sovereignty. The attempted infiltration and follow-up attacks serve only to reassert India’s determination to dismantle terror infrastructure in the border area and hold its facilitators to account.
