Srinagar, Mar 4: The Indian Army on Wednesday said its troops successfully foiled an infiltration attempt by militants in the Bhimber Gali area of Poonch district in Jammu and Kashmir.

In a post on X, the Jammu-based White Knight Corps stated that acting on credible intelligence inputs and sustained surveillance, movement of militants was detected in the general area of Bhimber Gali during the early hours of the day.

According to the Army, troops responded with decisive force and demonstrated superior tactical execution to prevent any breach along the Line of Control (LoC). The infiltrators were swiftly engaged, effectively foiling the attempt.

“The enemy’s designs were effectively thwarted through coordinated ground action,” the Army said, adding that troops have been reoriented to maintain strict domination of the area with the support of integrated ground and aerial surveillance.

The force further stated that a robust operational posture and heightened alert remain in force across the sector. “The wall stands vigilant; every infiltration bid will fail,” it asserted.

Sources said Army and Border Security Force personnel deployed along the LoC and the International Border (IB) in Jammu and Kashmir have been placed on maximum alert amid apprehensions of infiltration attempts from across the border.

They added that the counter-infiltration grid has been further strengthened to ensure that any attempt to breach the LoC or IB is effectively neutralised.
