"On September 11, at approximately 2:35 am, unprovoked firing occurred in the Akhnoor sector from across the border. The BSF responded appropriately to the situation.

Pakistani Terrorists Neutralised in Anti-Infiltration Operation

Earlier this week, in a separate incident, two Pakistani terrorists were killed in an anti-infiltration operation conducted by the Indian Army on the intervening night of Sunday and Monday. The operation was launched in the Lam area of Nowshera, along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir, following intelligence inputs about a possible infiltration attempt.

The Indian Army, in collaboration with the Jammu and Kashmir Police (JKP), launched the operation based on credible information. A large quantity of war-like materials, including two AK-47 rifles and a pistol, was recovered from the terrorists. "Two terrorists have been neutralised, and search operations are still underway," the Indian Army stated in a post on social media platform X.
