Less than a day after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, a fresh infiltration attempt was foiled by the Indian Army along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Baramulla district on Wednesday, Times of India reported.
The Chinar Corps informed that 2–3 unidentified terrorists attempted to infiltrate through the general area of Sarjeevan at Uri Nala in north Kashmir on early Wednesday.
According to the Army, alert troops challenged and intercepted the infiltrators, leading to a gunfight.
“The operation is in progress,” the Army said in a post on X.
This infiltration attempt came a day after the deadly terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam, which killed at least 28 tourists and left many others wounded.
The attack, claimed by The Resistance Front, marked the deadliest assault since the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019. It also came during US Vice President J D Vance’s India visit and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s trip to Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, a joint operation by the Army and J&K Police is underway in Pahalgam’s Baisran area to track down the perpetrators. Candlelight marches were held in multiple towns and villages across J&K as residents expressed solidarity with the victims and their families.
