Srinagar: One militant has been killed in an ongoing anti-infiltration operation in Uri on the Line of Control in the Kashmir valley, the Army confirmed on Sunday.

"One terrorist has been killed in the ongoing anti-infiltration Operation that was launched on 22 Jun in the Uri Sector; Operations are continuing," Army's Chinar Corps said in a post on X.

The anti-infiltration operation is going on from Saturday after the army got specific information about infiltration by militants in Bajrang-Uri from across Pakistan in Uri sector of the Line of Control. "Hiding terrorists opened fire on the security personnel, who retaliated, thereby triggering a gunfight" officials said.

The Uri Sector of Line of Control falls in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district. This area is very susceptible to infiltration attempts by militants, but the army has established a strong anti-infiltration grid by fencing of the LoC and deployment of troops along the LoC supported by a robust surveillance system.
