Srinagar, Sep 28 (NationPress) On Sunday, the combined security forces successfully thwarted an infiltration attempt along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Kupwara district of Jammu and Kashmir, resulting in the elimination of two terrorist intruders.
According to sources, the vigilant joint forces intercepted the infiltration effort in the Keran sector of the district.
"The operation is ongoing in the area. Alert troops detected suspicious activity along the LoC, prompting the launch of an anti-infiltration operation," sources disclosed.
Further updates regarding the incident are awaited.
Since the cessation of Operation Sindoor, security forces have intensified their operations against terrorists, their overground workers (OGWs), and their sympathizers.
This approach is a component of the revised anti-terror strategy aimed at dismantling the entire terror ecosystem rather than merely concentrating on armed terrorists.
Additionally, the operations target drug traffickers and those involved in hawala money networks, as it is believed that the funds generated from these activities ultimately support terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Indian Army and the Border Security Force (BSF) are maintaining constant vigilance along the LoC and the International Border (IB) to prevent any infiltration attempts by terrorists before the onset of winter snowfall.
The Jammu and Kashmir region features a 740-km-long LoC secured by the Army and a 240-km-long International Border overseen by the BSF.
The LoC runs through the Baramulla, Kupwara, and Bandipora districts in the Valley, as well as Rajouri, Poonch, and partially in the Jammu districts of the Jammu division.
Terrorist groups operating in Pakistan, with the backing of the Pakistani Army, have also been utilizing drones to transport arms, ammunition, cash, and drugs to sustain their operations.
In many instances, these deliveries are picked up by OGWs for the terrorists. The BSF has implemented anti-drone technology that has significantly mitigated the threat posed by drones crossing the International Border.
