Infiltration Attempt Thwarted in Jammu And Kashmir’s Battal Sector, Soldier Injured in Firing

A soldier has been injured in heavy firing, as reported by the Army’s XVI Corps in an online post. The White Knight Corps also confirmed the incident, stating that operations are ongoing following the exchange of heavy fire. The infiltration attempt follows a series of terror attacks, with the majority occurring in Jammu.

Over the past 32 months, 48 army soldiers have lost their lives while combating terrorists in the area. Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi visited the Union territory to discuss measures to address the significant increase in terrorist attacks, which were previously uncommon in the region. Within 24 hours of his visit, terrorists targeted an army camp in Rajouri, resulting in a soldier being injured, but alert troops prevented a major tragedy.

Security forces have discovered the involvement of Pakistani terrorists in the attacks and are devising strategies to locate and eliminate them. In response to the situation, the Army has bolstered its forces by deploying additional troops and Para Special Forces commandos to combat the highly skilled terrorists who have infiltrated the Jammu region.
