SRINAGAR: A Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist was killed on Wednesday as safety forces foiled an infiltration bid alongside the Line of Control in Kupwara district of Jammu and Kashmir, a defence spokesperson stated.
The operation was launched within the Tangdhar sector on the intervening night time of Tuesday and Wednesday.
The slain terrorist was recognized as Mohammed Shakur (32) from Syedpura in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), he stated.
The joint operation was launched based mostly on particular info obtained from the police concerning the infiltration of a bunch of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists by the Sudpura ahead put up within the Karnah space of Kupwara district.
The inputs have been corroborated by different intelligence companies, the spokesperson stated in a press release.
“Alert troops on the anti-infiltration grid intercepted two terrorists trying to infiltrate into own (Indian) side in the forward area close to the Line of Control (LoC). Around 1:45 am on 26 October (20)22, the infiltrating terrorists were fired upon, leading to the elimination of one terrorist. However, taking advantage of the darkness, the other terrorist managed to flee to PoJK side,” he added.
In a search operation launched on the website this morning, one AK sequence rifle, two pistols and a big amount of ammunition and war-like shops have been recovered, in line with the assertion.
Timely motion and shut coordination between the Indian Army, the Jammu and Kashmir Police and different intelligence companies led to foiling of the infiltration try and potential menace to peace within the hinterland, the spokesperson stated.
“Continued engagements along the Line of Control are uncanny reminders of efforts by Pakistan to infuse terrorism in Kashmir and disrupt peace and harmony while putting on the facade of ceasefire understanding,” he stated.
“The youth in PoK are being used as cannon fodder by Pakistan state policy from the last three decades with a fruitless aim to constantly disrupt progress towards collective peace,” he stated.
