Huge quantity of arms, ammunition recovered
Srinagar, July 19- Two foreign terrorists were killed in an encounter in the Keran area of Kupwara district on Thursday.
An official told that on 18 July at approximately 1230h, alert troops observed movement of two terrorists through thick foliage on their side of the LoC. The infiltrating terrorists were challenged, following which they opened fire, leading to an intense firefight.
“Two hardcore foreign terrorists were killed, along with the recovery of weapons, warlike stores, and a Pakistani identity card,” he said.
“This successful intelligence-based operation is yet another example of the close synergy between the Indian Army, BSF & JKP,” he said.
This was the third such successful anti-infiltration operation on the Line of Control over the last few weeks and underscores the Indian Army’s unwavering commitment to maintain the sanctity of the Line of Control and the robust counter-infiltration posture towards maintaining peace in Kashmir Valley.(KS)
