A heavily armed terrorist was killed as the Indian Army early morning on Sunday foiled a major infiltration bid in the Poonch sector from the Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (POJK).
A massive cordon and search operation has been launched in the forest area along the Line of Control (LOC) as some other terrorists have escaped there.
Defence spokesman Lt. Colonel Devender Anand said that on the intervening night of 8 and 9 April, alert troops of the Indian Army on the LoC in the Poonch Sector (J&K), detected some suspicious movement of a group of individuals. The individuals were challenged by Indian Army troops on their own side of LoC, close to the fence.

Further details are awaited.
