Rajouri: A Pakistani militant was killed as Army troops foiled an infiltration bid along the Line of Control (LoC) at the Nowshera sector in the Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday. In a statement, a defence spokesman said, "In the early hours on Wednesday, a group of Pakistani militants made an attempt to infiltrate across the LoC in the Nowshera sector. Two soldiers were injured in the firefight with the terrorists."
Alert Army troops thwarted the infiltration bid by suitably employing an integrated surveillance grid along with domination by fire, and engaging the terrorists in a fierce firefight in which one terrorist was neutralised, it said, adding that his body has been recovered. An AK 47 rifle, four magazines of AK 47 with ammunition and two hand grenades have been recovered. This action displays the resolve of the Indian Army to thwart any misadventure on the Line of Control, the statement read.
