Srinagar- Two infiltrators were believed to be killed as security forces foiled an infiltration bid along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Uri sector of North Kashmir’s Baramulla district on Saturday, officials said.
Army personnel noticed suspicious movement along the LoC in the Gohallan area of north Kashmir’s Uri sector, the officials said.
On being challenged, the infiltrators opened fire, inviting a retaliation by the Army, the officials said.
They said there was an exchange of fire for sometime which has now stopped.
Two infiltrators are believed to have been killed, but their bodies have not been recovered yet as the area is on the LoC, the officials said.
