7 Terrorists, Backed By Pak Rangers, Shot Dead Trying To Infiltrate In Jammu

India foiled an infiltration attempt last night and killed seven terrorists in the Samba sector of Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan Rangers were helping them infiltrate by firing across the border from Dhandhar post, said the Border Security Force (BSF). India’s military action also caused damage to the Pakistani post.

The group of terrorists was detected by the surveillance grid during the intervening night of May 8 and 9 while infiltrating the Samba Sector, said the BSF.

“Alert troops of BSF, neutralised the infiltration bid, killing at least seven terrorists and causing extensive damage to the Pak Post Dhandhar,” the force said, sharing a video of the destruction of the military post.

The infiltration attempt follows a barrage of failed aerial strikes aimed at military bases and cities on the Indian side of the border and the Line of Control.

The military bases in Jammu, Pathankot, and Udhampur were specifically on target, so were several cities in Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Punjab. But all missiles and drones sent by Pakistan were neutralised. No loss or casualty was reported.

Pakistani troops then resumed firing at Indian posts and villages near the border and the LOC. Indian troops gave a befitting reply, officials said.

The civil administrations had enforced a blackout all night in cities near the border, like Jammu, Srinagar, and several places in Punjab and Rajasthan.
