Army Foils Infiltration Bid in Poonch; One Soldier Injured 

In a tense encounter along the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district, the Indian Army successfully foiled an infiltration attempt by militants, resulting in one soldier being injured. The incident occurred in the early hours of Tuesday in the Degwar sector, according to official sources. 

Army officials reported that alert troops noticed suspicious movement near the LoC at approximately 2:30 AM. The infiltrators, believed to be heavily armed, were attempting to cross into Indian territory under the cover of darkness and dense foliage. 

Upon being challenged, the militants opened fire on the Indian positions, leading to a fierce gun battle. The exchange of fire lasted for nearly two hours, with the army effectively preventing the infiltrators from breaching the LoC. 

During the firefight, one Indian soldier sustained injuries and was immediately evacuated to a nearby military hospital. His condition is reported to be stable, and he is currently receiving medical treatment. 

The quick response and coordinated action of the Indian troops forced the militants to retreat, leaving behind several items of weaponry and communication equipment. A thorough search operation is currently underway in the area to ensure no infiltrators managed to slip through and to recover any additional evidence. 

Lt. Gen. Upendra Dwivedi, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Northern Command, praised the troops for their vigilance and prompt action. He stated, "Our soldiers' alertness and bravery have once again thwarted the nefarious designs of those seeking to disturb peace in the region." 

This incident comes amid heightened tensions along the LoC, with several infiltration attempts reported in recent months. Security forces have been on high alert, particularly given the approaching summer months when militant activities typically intensify. 

The Poonch sector, known for its rugged terrain and dense forests, has been a favored route for infiltrators attempting to enter Indian territory. The army has been continuously upgrading its surveillance and defense mechanisms in the area to counter such threats. 

Local political leaders have condemned the infiltration attempt and expressed solidarity with the injured soldier. They have also called for increased diplomatic efforts to address the ongoing cross-border tensions. 

As the situation remains tense, additional troops have been deployed in the sector to prevent any further infiltration attempts. The army has reiterated its commitment to maintaining a strong vigil along the LoC and ensuring the safety and security of civilians in the border areas.

Indian Army says retired Pakistan soldiers among terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir

In a significant revelation following a recent terror attack in the Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian Army disclosed that among the group of militants involved, some were identified as retired Pakistani soldiers. Lieutenant General Upendra Dwivedi, the Northern Army Commander, stated that efforts are underway to eliminate these foreign terrorists, asserting that Pakistan aims to introduce non-local recruits due to a scarcity of local militants in the region.

During his visit to the Kalakote area of Rajouri to assess the operational scenario, Lt. Gen. Dwivedi made these revelations. He hinted that Pakistan might escalate efforts to infiltrate more terrorists in the upcoming months, possibly to disrupt the forthcoming elections, including the Lok Sabha polls, affirming this possibility without elaborating further.

This disclosure comes after a recent 36-hour-long encounter between security forces and two foreign terrorists affiliated with the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) outfit in the Bajimaal area of Rajouri's Darmsal. The gunfight resulted in the elimination of the militants but tragically claimed the lives of five army personnel: Capt M V Pranjal, Capt Shubham Gupta, Hav Abdul Majid, Lance Naik Sanjay Bisht, and Paratrooper Sachin Laur.

During the encounter, security forces successfully evacuated civilians, including women and children, from the conflict zone. The army discovered a hideout nestled in the forests of Rajouri district, used by the terrorists for their operations.

Describing these hideouts as "relatively difficult to detect and breach," army officials shared images of the discovered cave.

The mortal remains of the fallen soldiers were honored in a solemn wreath-laying ceremony at the Army General Hospital in Jammu. Subsequently, the coffins were airlifted to their respective native places for their final rites.

Lt. Gen. Dwivedi emphasized the intensification of operations in border districts like Rajouri and Poonch to eradicate more than two dozen foreign terrorists within a year. He highlighted that eliminating these two significant foreign terrorists dealt a major blow to Pakistan's efforts to destabilize the region.
