The White Knight Corps said that “acting on credible intelligence inputs from intelligence agencies, the movement of two terrorists was detected in the general area Jhangar, Nowshera, along the LoC around 3 pm on 10 March”.

“Responding with swift and calibrated combat action, alert troops of the White Knight Corps engaged swiftly, successfully foiling the infiltration attempt.”

“In the ensuing engagement, one Pakistan-sponsored terrorist was eliminated, effectively denying any breach of the LoC”.

“Troops have been reoriented to search for the second terrorist and to ensure relentless domination of the area, supported by integrated ground and aerial surveillance. A robust operational posture and heightened alert continue across the sector,” the White Knight Corps added.
