Kupwara (Jammu kashmir): Security Forces have foiled an infiltration attempt of Border Action Team (BAT) of Pakistan in Keren sector of Kupwara district in Jammu and Kashmir. The BAT action, that happened on Saturday, was a complete breach of the ongoing ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan across the Line of Control (LoC).
Troops deployed along the LoC foiled the bid and killed the Pakistani terrorist identified as Muhammed Shabbir Malik, who was equipped with weapons, ammunition and warlike stores. The infiltration was located on the Pakistani side of the Anti Infiltration Obstacle System, kept under surveillance by the Indian Army to effectively counter any nefarious activity by the infiltrators or Pakistan Army.
The one armed intruder dressed in Pathani suit and black jacket was detected moving from areas under the control of Pakistan Army across the LoC at around 3 pm on Saturday. The security forces monitored him for almost an hour until the perpetrator was killed. They also laid ambushes along the likely routes that could be adopted by the intruder.
