Heavy Firing Erupts Along LoC In Poonch After Army Suspects Terrorist Movement
The Indian Army on Sunday challenged a suspected movement of terrorists near the Line of Control (LoC) in the Balakot sector of Poonch district, triggering a heavy exchange of fire.
Troops noticed suspicious movement along the LoC and immediately opened fire. The encounter led to intense firing between the Army and the suspected infiltrators.
The operation is still underway, and further details are awaited.
In a post on X, the White Knight Corps said that at around 5:30 am on Sunday, they detected suspicious movement near the Line of Control in the Balakot sector and immediately opened fire, preventing an infiltration attempt. The Corps stated that its troops have been repositioned and reoriented to ensure foolproof domination of the area, with soldiers maintaining high alert across their zones.
Earlier, in a major blow to the terrorist network in the Gurez sector of Jammu and Kashmir’s Bandipora district, the security forces eliminated Bagu Khan, also known as ‘Human GPS’, responsible for at least 100 infiltration attempts, most of which were successful.
Bagu Khan, alias Samandar Chacha, has been active in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) since 1995 and was considered the biggest link to infiltration in the Kashmir valley. He possessed extensive knowledge of secret routes and was well-acquainted with the region’s tough terrain, making him one of the longest-serving facilitators of terrorist infiltration over the past three decades.
Bagu Khan was shot dead along with another terrorist during an infiltration attempt from the Nowshera Naar area on Saturday.
Meanwhile, an official told that a high-security alert was issued across Bihar on Thursday after inputs indicated that three Pakistani terrorists had entered the state via Nepal.
The Bihar Police headquarters issued an alert to all district police units and released the names and photographs of terrorists affiliated with the Jaish-e-Mohammed. It is suspected that they entered Bihar through Araria after crossing over from Nepal.
