In a successful anti-infiltration operation conducted by the Indian Army, two terrorists were neutralized, and a significant cache of weaponry, including two AK-47 rifles and one pistol, was recovered. The operation took place during the night of September 8 and 9 in the Nowshera region of Jammu and Kashmir.
The White Knight Corps reported that the operation, named “Operation Kanchi,” was launched based on intelligence gathered from both the Jammu and Kashmir Police and intelligence agencies regarding an infiltration attempt. The search was carried out in the general area of Lam in Nowshera.
In a statement on the social media platform X, the White Knight Corps confirmed, “Based on inputs from intelligence agencies and Jammu-Kashmir Police regarding a likely infiltration bid, an anti-infiltration operation was launched by the Indian Army on the intervening night of September 8-9 in the general area of Lam, Nowshera. Two terrorists have been neutralized, and a large quantity of warlike stores, including two AK-47s and one pistol, have been recovered thus far.”
The operation is still ongoing in the region.
Earlier, on August 29, the Indian Army successfully neutralized three terrorists attempting to infiltrate across the Line of Control (LoC) in the Machhal and Tangdhar sectors of Jammu and Kashmir.
An official press release said, “Credible inputs were received from intelligence agencies, which were further corroborated by J-K Police regarding likely infiltration attempts from these areas. Based on these inputs, troops from the Indian Army, JKP, and BSF laid ambushes on likely infiltration routes in both the Machhal and Tangdhar sectors.”
Around 8 PM, ambush teams in the Machhal sector detected terrorists moving through dense foliage, approximately 600 meters from the LoC. The terrorists were challenged, leading to an intense exchange of fire. Simultaneously, in the Tangdhar sector, another firefight occurred around 9 PM, approximately 100 meters from the LoC. Both sectors experienced heavy gunfire.
In these encounters, two terrorists were eliminated in the Machhal sector and one in the Tangdhar sector.
