According to reports, on 3 August, infiltration bid across the LoC involving over five Pak BAT army regulars/terrorists’, orchestrated by the Border Action Team (BAT) of Pakistan Army, was foiled by Indian Army in Jammu and Kashmir's Keran sector.

Briefing on the development, a senior Army officer had said that a group of 5-7, comprising terrorists and Special Services Group of the Pakistan Army were killed in an unsuccessful BAT operation which began on the intervening night of 31 July and 1 August.

"Four bodies have been seen lying on our side of the LoC, in close proximity to our posts. But there is continuing cross-border firing in the sector," said the officer.

Despite the continuing cross border firing, the Indian Army offered the Pakistan Army to come with a white flag, and take over the dead bodies of its subjects for last rites.
