A Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist was killed on Wednesday as security forces foiled an infiltration bid along the Line of Control in the Kupwara district of Jammu and Kashmir, a defence spokesperson said.
The operation was launched in the Tangdhar sector on the intervening night of Tuesday and Wednesday. The terrorist was identified as Mohammed Shakur (32) from Syedpura in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), he said.
The joint operation was launched based on specific information received from the police regarding the infiltration of a group of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists through the Sudpura forward post in the Karnah area of Kupwara district. The inputs were corroborated by other intelligence agencies, the spokesperson said in a statement.
"Alert troops on the anti-infiltration grid intercepted two terrorists trying to infiltrate into their own (Indian) side in the forward area close to the Line of Control (LoC).
