Three infiltrators were killed along the Line of Control (LoC) as the security forces foiled an infiltration bid in the Uri Sector of north Kashmir’s Baramulla on August 25, the Army said in Srinagar.
“An operation was launched based on specific intelligence from Army intelligence agencies in the afternoon of August 24. Multiple ambushes were laid to trap the infiltrators. Intensive electronic surveillance of the suspected area led to detection of the attempt at 7 a.m. hours on August 25,” the Army said
The Army said a contact with the infiltrators was established around 8.45 a.m. on this side of the LoC, “leading to heavy exchange of fire in which the militants were killed”
