Infiltration bid foiled; militant killed in J&K’s Tanghdar

Srinagar: The Army on Tuesday foiled yet another
infiltration bid from across the border by killing a militant
and arresting another in Tanghdar sector of Kupwara district, in Jammu and Kashmir.

Troops guarding the Line of Control in Tangdhar, 145
kms from here, noticed some heavily-armed militants sneaking
in to the Indian side and asked them to surrender, a Defence
spokesman said.

However, they opened fire and in the retaliatory
action, one militant was killed while another was arrested.

This is the third infiltration attempt by militants
from across the border in as many days. Six militants and two
Army jawans were killed in the two previous incidents.
