Infiltration Attempt Thwarted, Three Terrorists Killed By Security Forces In North Kashmir's Kupwara

Three terrorists were killed on Sunday (14 July) as security forces thwarted an infiltration attempt near the Line of Control (LoC) in north Kashmir's Kupwara district according to a report from Hindustan Times.

“Three terrorists have been eliminated in the ongoing anti-infiltration operation on the LoC in Keran sector, along with the recovery of weapons and other war-like stores,” the strategic Chinar Corps announced in a post on X.

The operation is still in progress, and the identities of the slain terrorists have not yet been disclosed.

This operation follows a week after security forces killed six terrorists in two separate gunfights in south Kashmir's Kulgam district on 6 and 7 July. In these encounters, the Army lost two of its soldiers.

On 6 July, four terrorists and one soldier were killed in Chinigam, while another soldier died in Modergam. The remaining two terrorists were killed on 7 July as the Modergam operation concluded.

Earlier, on 23 June, a terrorist was killed in an anti-infiltration operation by security forces near the LoC in the Uri sector of north Kashmir's Baramulla district.
