SAMBA, May 9 -: In a significant counter-infiltration operation, the Border Security Force (BSF) gunned down at least seven terrorists along the International Border in Jammu’s Samba Sector during the intervening night of May 8 and 9.
“An infiltration attempt by a large group of terrorists was detected by the surveillance grid in the Samba Sector,” a BSF spokesperson said on Friday morning.
The infiltration attempt, the official added, was backed by heavy fire from the Dhandhar post of Pakistan Rangers.
“BSF troops neutralised the infiltration bid, killing at least seven terrorists and inflicting substantial damage on the Dhandhar post,” he said.
The Samba Sector, south of Jammu city, has seen heightened activity in recent days, including drone incursions and cross-border firing. The region, located along the strategic Pathankot-Jammu-Srinagar highway, has a history of infiltration attempts and ceasefire violations.
