1 terrorist killed in anti-infiltration operation along LoC in J&K’s Uri

Srinagar: One terrorist was killed in the Uri Sector along the Line of Control (LoC) as part of an ongoing anti-infiltration operation, the Indian Army said on Sunday. The operation, codenamed ‘Bajrang,’ was launched on June 22 following specific intelligence inputs.

The identity of the killed infiltrator has not yet been disclosed. The operation is still underway, and further updates are expected as the situation develops.

Chinar Corps of the Indian Army announced the development on social media platform X, saying, “One terrorist has been killed in the ongoing anti-infiltration Operation that was launched on 22 Jun in the Uri Sector; Operations are continuing.”

The region has been a frequent site of skirmishes and infiltration attempts, making it a critical area for Indian security operations.

Security forces on Saturday foiled the infiltration bid along the LoC in the Uri sector of Jammu and Kashmir’s Baramulla district after they noticed suspicious movement in the Gohallan area, PTI reported on Saturday quoting officials.

On being challenged, the militants opened fire, inviting a retaliation by the Army, the officials said.
