One Pakistani terrorist was killed and search mounted for another one as troops of the White Knight Corps on Tuesday foiled an infiltration bid in the Jhangar sector of Nowshera along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Jammu region.
Helicopters and drones have been deployed to search the other terrorist who managed to escape.
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.
