Two infiltrators were killed by the Army personnel manning the Line of Control (LoC) in north Kashmir’s Keran Sector. One intruder was killed in Jammu.

A Srinagar-based Army spokesman said they foiled an infiltration bid in the Keram Sector on Tuesday. “Two militants have been killed. The operation is on,” said the spokesman.

A group of militants was trying to infiltrate and was spotted, triggering an encounter.

In Jammu, the Army said it killed a heavily-armed Pakistani intruder along the LoC in the Akhnoor Sector.

“An armed intruder was noticed trying to infiltrate into this side in the Pallanwalla area of the Akhnoor sector and was challenged by the alert Army personnel,” said the Army.
