A Pakistani intruder was shot dead along the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir on May 20, officials said.
The infiltrator was challenged by the troops guarding the Balakote sector in Mendhar sub division when he was trying to sneak into this side from across the border, the officials said.
They said the intruder paid no heed to the repeated warnings and tried to flee back when troops opened fire, resulting in his death.
The whole area has been cordoned off and further details are awaited, the officials said.

The museum has not been opened to the public, reportedly because of the administration’s engagements with the State Assembly and Lok Sabha elections.

Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
