A Pakistani terrorist was killed after an infiltration bid was foiled by security forces in the Uri sector of north Kashmir’s Baramulla district, officials said on Sunday.

According to the Army, a joint operation led by the Indian Army and Jammu and Kashmir Police was launched in the intervening night of March 14 and 15 in the general area of Buchhar in the Uri sector following specific intelligence inputs about an infiltration attempt.

Troops deployed in the area noticed suspicious movement of a terrorist hiding in thick vegetation. The forces readjusted their ambush positions and challenged the suspect, after which the militant opened indiscriminate fire.

“Alert troops spotted suspicious movement of a terrorist in the thicket. The ambush was readjusted and the terrorist was challenged resulting in terrorist opening indiscriminate fire. In the Contact a Pak terrorist was eliminated. Warlike stores including an AK rifle, pistols and large quantity of ammunition have been recovered," Indian Army’s Chinar Coprs said in a statement.

Security forces also recovered warlike stores from the site, including an AK rifle, pistols and a large quantity of ammunition.

Earlier this month, the Army foiled another infiltration attempt along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Bhimber Gali area of Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district after detecting suspicious terrorist movement during the early hours.

Following the incident, additional troops were deployed in the area, and surveillance has been heightened with the support of ground and aerial assets to ensure safety of citizens in the region.

On February 19-20, the Indian Army foiled an infiltration bid by terrorists in Sunderbani sector of Rajouri, subsequently leading to seizure of arms and ammunition.
