The Border Security Force has successfully foiled another infiltration attempt by Pakistan. Infiltrators from the Pakistani side made an unsuccessful attempt to infiltrate in the Kupwara district of Jammu and Kashmir.

A group of men were caught crossing the Line of Control (LoC) in Nowgam sector early Sunday morning. The BSF caught sight of these intruders and opened fire. As a result, the group retreated back to PoK area.

Earlier, on the intervening night of September 12 and 13, the Indian Army had foiled an attempt by Pakistan to infiltrate near the LoC. In addition, the army killed a suspected BAT commando during the infiltration attempt. The army also released a video of the incident, which was captured through a hand-held thermal imager.

A high alert was issued on Friday after heavy terrorist movement was spotted along the Line of Control (LoC) and International Border (IB).

An intel report indicated that heavy terrorist movement has been seen at several places near the LoC including Machhil and Keran sector. Both sectors have been put on high alert after the development.

Terrorists have also been spotted at a launchpad site in Jura (Pakistan side) - the area is situated close to Keran sector. Sources told India Today TV that six groups of Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorists have been spotted at another launchpad across the border.
