Security forces foiled an infiltration bid early on Wednesday morning and killed a terrorist along the Line of Control (LoC) in Keri area of Bhimber Gali sector in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district.

A joint security operation was launched close to the LoC in Keri area based on specific intelligence inputs. “Around 5.55am, a group of terrorists tried to sneak into the Indian territory on this side of the Line of Control,” Jammu-based defence spokesperson Lt Col Devender Anand said.

“The terrorists were seen crossing the LoC and alert troops of the Indian Army foiled the infiltration bid, resulting in killing of one terrorist,” he said and added that one AK-47 and two magazines were recovered in the search operation.
