Srinagar: Army on Sunday claimed to have foiled an infiltration bid along the Line of Control in Naugam sector of north Kashmir.
“On the night of June 03, a patrol team of the Indian Army along the LoC spotted a group of Pakistani terrorists trying to infiltrate into Indian territory,” an army spokesperson said.
He said on being challenged, the infiltrators retrieved back under the cover of darkness and inclement weather.
“In a hurry, the infiltrators left behind their rucksacks with winter clothing, batteries and other equipment to be used for their attempted crossing of the fence,” he said.
The spokesperson said repeated attempts of infiltration in north Kashmir continue to be foiled by the Army units based on sound intelligence.
In a separated statement, the Army said Pakistani troops “violated the ceasefire and resorted to unprovoked firing” along LoC in Keran and Rampur sectors of north Kashmir on Sunday.
“At about 11:00 am and 12:40 pm, Pakistan initiated unprovoked ceasefire violation along the LoC in Keran and Rampur sectors of Kupwara and Baramulla districts respectively,” an Army spokesman said.
He said the Army is “retaliating befittingly to the Pakistani aggression and the enemy positions have been targeted with high precision.”
