In a significant operation, the Indian Army successfully eliminated three hardcore foreign terrorists attempting to infiltrate across the Line of Control (LoC) in the Keran Sector of the Kupwara District of Jammu and Kashmir. As per the officials, on the intervening night of July 13-14, acting on credible inputs, multiple ambushes were laid along the appreciated route of infiltration. Elaborating on the encounter with the terrorists, Commander of the 268th Infantry Brigade, Keran Sector, Brigadier NR Kulkarni, said that they had intelligence inputs of terrorists trying to disturb normalcy in the area.
"We had intelligence inputs, primarily of terrorists trying to infiltrate and carry out sabotage and subversive activities in the hinterland with the view to disturb normalcy in general, and the Amarnath Yatra in particular. On July 12, specific input was given by our intelligence agencies, and it was further corroborated by the J-K Police regarding the mixed group of foreign terrorists likely to infiltrate through the Keran Sector, leveraging dense cover of forest and thick undergrowth along the nallahs," Brigadier Kulkarni said.
Jammu and Kashmir has seen an increase in terrorist attacks in recent times.These terror attacks have come during the ongoing Amarnath Yatra in South Kashmir. Earlier this month, five soldiers lost their lives and eight sustained injuries during an attack on the army’s convoy in Kathua’s Badnota on July 8.
