In a joint operation, Army and Police killed four terrorists in Kala Jungle of Machhal sector in Kupwara who were trying to infiltrate from Pakistan-occupied Jammu & Kashmir (PoJK), the Jammu and Kashmir police said.
Kashmir Zone Police tweeted, “In a joint operation, Army and Police have killed four #terrorists in Kala Jungle of Machhal sector in #Kupwara who were trying to infiltrate to our side from POJK.”
The encounter comes around a week after another major infiltration bid at Jumgund Keran close to the Line of Control (LoC) in the Kupwara district was foiled by the security forces in a similar joint operation.
The General Officer Commanding, Vajra Division, Maj Gen Girish Kalia, in a press conference post-operation, said that there is a ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan. However, in the recent past, they (forces) have been getting a large number of intelligence inputs of likely infiltration from across the LoC, according to a report by Hindustan Times.
