The Indian Army foiled an infiltration bid in Baramulla, killing two terrorists amid an intense firefight. This comes a day after a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam claimed 26 lives, prompting a national security response.

The Army has neutralised two terrorists in Baramulla, Jammu and Kashmir following a heavy exchange of fire. The operation successfully foiled an infiltration attempt by the terrorists.

The Chinar Cops-Indian Army X handle in a post confirmed the operation. The post stated, “Heavy exchange of fire between security forces and terrorists, two terrorists have been eliminated, infiltration bid foiled by the security forces in the ongoing Operation. Large quantity of weapons, ammunition and other war-like stores have been recovered from the terrorists. Operation is in progress.”

According to Chinar Cops, on Wednesday, approximately 2–3 unidentified terrorists attempted to infiltrate through the general area of Sarjeevan at Uri Nala, Baramulla. Alert troops on the Line of Control challenged and intercepted them, resulting in a fierce firefight.

This action comes just a day after a horrific terror attack at Pahalgam that claimed the lives of 26 people around 2:30 pm on Tuesday. The Resistance Front, a local offshoot of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, has taken responsibility for the carnage.

Eyewitnesses described harrowing scenes as gunfire rang out in the open grassland, sending tourists scrambling for safety. “There was no place to hide,” one survivor said, recounting the chaos.
