“03xTerrorists tried to infiltrate who were engaged by alert troops,” the Chinar Corps tweeted.

During the exchange of fire between the infiltrating militants and the security forces, two militants were neutralized, and their bodies were successfully recovered. However, the operation faced a challenge when it came to retrieving the body of the third militant. The Indian Army cited interference from Pakistani posts located in close proximity to the LoC.

“Third terrorist killed but retrieval of body being interfered by firing by Pak post in the vicinity, on LoC. Operation in progress,” the statement from the Chinar Corps continued.
