TIL Desk/National/J&K/ The army on Saturday foiled an infiltration bid along the Line of Control in Rampur sector of Kashmir, killing four terrorists. Troops noticed suspicious movement along the LoC in Rampur sector in the early hours, an army official said.
He said a firefight broke out between the infiltrators and the army, resulting in elimination of four ultras. A search operation was going on in the area, the official said. Infiltration attempts have increased in the past few weeks, no thanks to the onset of summer, which has led to snow-blocked mountain passes opening up making them easier to traverse, the army said recently.
“With the mercury rising and snow-melting in the valley, the chances of infiltration increase from the Pakistani side. The army is all geared up to counter such threats,” said Major General Ashok Narula earlier in the week. The army also said it recently launched “punitive fire assaults” on Pakistani positions across the LoC, inflicting “damage”.
