The Indian Army troops foiled an infiltration attempt by Pakistani terrorists in the Battal Sector of Jammu and Kashmir in the early hours of Tuesday. During the operation, a jawan was injured and later succumbed to his injuries.
Earlier the Army on Thursday said the two terrorists killed in an encounter with security forces in Baramulla district were Pakistani and associated with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
This incident follows closely on the heels of a coordinated effort by the Indian Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police, and intelligence agencies, which successfully disrupted an infiltration attempt in the same Uri sector on Saturday, October 21.
The Pakistan side tried to fly a quadcopter over the incident site but on being fired at by the Indian side it quickly withdrew.
The Indian intelligence agencies have issued as many as 10 alerts regarding terrorists crossing the border and planning something "big" in the Kashmir valley.
Four security forces personnel, including an Army officer, and three militants were killed during a failed infiltration bid by the ultras along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Machil sector on Sunday.
Acting swifty after the intrusion attempt, nearby posts cordoned the area and launched a search and destroy operation, the statement said, adding that the operation was in progress.
