BSF Foils Major Infiltration Bid In J&K's Samba, Kills Seven JeM Terrorists Amid Escalating India-Pakistan Tensions

In a significant counter-infiltration operation, the BSF neutralised seven terrorists suspected to be affiliated with Pakistani terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) near the International Border in Samba, Jammu and Kashmir, early Friday (9 May).

The operation began around 11 pm on 8 May, when BSF personnel observed suspicious movement close to the border in Samba district.

Confirming the development on X, BSF posted: "At around 2300 hours on 8 May 2025, BSF foiled a major infiltration bid at the International Boundary in Samba district, J&K,"

Visuals from the encounter showed BSF units inflicting heavy damage on the Pakistani post Dhandhar while killing at least seven terrorists to foil a major infiltration bid.

This infiltration bid comes at a time when military tensions between India and Pakistan are intensifying rapidly.

On Thursday, India thwarted a Pakistani attempt to target multiple military installations in Jammu, Pathankot, Udhampur using missiles and drones.

Pakistan’s drone and missile attacks followed India’s 7 May counterstrike under Operation Sindoor, which targeted terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, reportedly killing around 100 militants.

India’s Operation Sindoor has been launched in response to the Pahalgam terror attack where 26 people, mostly tourists, were killed by terrorists in a targetted religious massacre.
