BSF on Friday said it had killed at least seven terrorists trying to infiltrate from across Pakistan into J&K's Samba on the night of May 8-9. The terrorists were backed by fire from a Pakistan Rangers' post at Dhandhar across IB.
This coincided with Indian Army busting two terror launchpads next to a Pakistan army post in POK in retaliatory fire from Uri. An Indian officer said going by the chatter and ambulances seen at the site, at least 28 terrorists waiting to cross over under the cover of Pakistan army's artillery fire were killed. Pakistan army also suffered heavy damage, according to sources.
An infiltration attempt by a big group of terrorists was detected by the surveillance grid in Samba sector of Jammu Frontier. The group was trying to sneak across the international border (IB), supported by fire from Pakistan Rangers' post at Dhandhar. Alert troops of BSF foiled the infiltration bid, killing at least seven terrorists and causing extensive damage to the Dhandhar post," said a BSF spokesperson. The destruction of the bunker was captured with a hand-held thermal imager (HHTI) and the clip released by BSF on Friday.
"The foiled infiltration bids at Samba and Uri display the desperation of Pakistan and ISI to use foreign terrorists, under the cover of heavy shelling by Pakistan army, to carry forward its parallel terror agenda. Pakistan wants to open multiple fronts and divert the attention of Indian security forces , by using the trained terrorists," noted an officer.
Amid the heavy shelling and attempted drone attacks by the Pakistani forces on Indian villages and towns close to the LoC/IB, Union home minister Amit Shah on Friday held a security review with heads of BSF, CISF, Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) and Intelligence Bureau on Friday. The meeting is said to have laid stress on stepped up surveillance to detect and foil any possible infiltration bids by terrorists, apart from ensuring safety of vital installations close to the border, including airports, dams and oil refineries.
