Two terrorists were killed on Wednesday as the Indian Army foiled an infiltration bid on the Line of Control (LoC) in Uri sector of Jammu and Kashmir’s (J&K) Baramulla district.
The Indian Army confirmed the operation’s success in intercepting the infiltrators, with the Chinar Corps posting on X: “On April 23, 2025, approximately 2-3 terrorists attempted to infiltrate through the general area of Sarjeevan at Uri Nala, Baramulla. Alert troops on the Line of Control (LC) challenged and intercepted them, leading to a firefight. The operation is still underway.”
A Defence Ministry statement said earlier that an exchange of fire took place between the terrorists and the Army when an infiltration bid was foiled after terrorists were engaged by the Army in a firefight near the Uri Nala area of Baramulla district.
