In Jammu and Kashmir, the Border Security Force (BSF) yesterday foiled an infiltration attempt by a terrorist along the International Border and recovered a large quantity of arms and ammunition. The infiltration attempt was scuttled by the troops in the R S Pura border area on Saturday night. A BSF spokesperson said the alert troops of BSF noticed suspicious movement of an intruder approaching the fence under the cover of darkness, but his attempt was foiled by the BSF personnel.
The BSF fired a few rounds of light machine guns on observing the
movement of an armed terrorist trying to intrude into this side from across the border late Saturday night. A thorough search of the area was carried out on Sunday morning, leading to the recovery of an AK assault rifle, two magazines, 17 rounds, two pistols, four magazines, and 20 rounds. However, the intruder fled back, leaving behind the arms and ammunition.
A Pakistani-made bag, a cigarette packet, and some other articles were also recovered from the scene during the search of the area
