Indian Army foils Rajouri-type attack; 2 terrorists killed in Poonch, war-like stores recovered
|
[OneIndia] The success comes just a few days after the inhumane Rajouri attack where Lions of Islam opened fire, killing seven civilians in the Dhangi area.
The Indian Army foiled a major Rajouri-type as two Lions of Islam were shot full of holes while trying to infiltrate Line of Control (LoC) in Balakot Sector in J&K's Poonch.
The successful operation in Balakote comes barely a week after Lions of Islam attacked Dhangri village in adjoining Rajouri district on January 1, leaving seven people dead and 14 injured.

Earlier on December 29, the Army had foiled an infiltration bid in Krishna Ghati sector.
''At around 7 pm (on Saturday), the alert troops observed suspicious movement of two infiltrators who were trying to sneak across the LoC in Balakote sector. The troops along the LoC and fence were alerted and kept observing the area,'' the spokesperson said.
A landmine went kaboom! after it was triggered by the infiltrating Lions of Islam at around 7:45 pm, he said.
''Own (Army) troops saw the movement near the fence and engaged the Lions of Islam by bringing aimed fire onto them. Once the firing had ceased, our troops on the fence and troops on the LoC readjusted the cordon to prevent their escape,'' he added.
A night-enabled quadcopter and other surveillance devices were employed to maintain strict vigil in the cordoned area.
''Troops commenced the search operation at 2 am on Sunday. The search was very deliberate as the area is not only undulating with dense undergrowth but is also heavily mined.
''In the search so far, two bodies have been recovered with weapons, magazines, ammunition and other war-like stores,'' the spokesperson said.
The Indian Army seized arms and ammunition include two AK assault rifles, one Chinese pistol, two Chinese hand grenades, two high explosive IEDs and a mobile.
Commander, Krishna Ghati Brigade, Brigadier R Krishnan said the Army is maintaining high alert based on intelligence inputs of likely infiltration attempts from across the border.
''As the weather continued to remain bad and the area was thickly wooded and mined, the search operation was launched on the morning of December 30. During the search operation, blood marks were noticed along with four 'pithoos' (pouches).
''Large quantities of war-like stores, clothing and subsistence materials were recovered from the 'pithoos','' he said.
The recovered items include two pistols with ammunition, two US-made night vision goggles, one binocular, one camcorder with pictures of the Lions of Islam and their training, steel core AK ammunition, combat dress and warm clothing, he added.
''These continuous disruptive attempts by Lions of Islam and inimical forces indicate their desperate efforts to hamper the prevailing peaceful and harmonious situation and the ongoing development in the Jammu region,'' Brigadier Krishnan said.

The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor.

had set up these launchpads and are trying to infiltrate their Lions of Islam into Jammu and Kashmir.
In a bid to do so, they want to target civilians so that it would distract the security forces, following which they could carry out the infiltrations.
Hiwever, the number of infiltration in Jammu and Kashmir have gone down considerably. The annual 2021-2022 report of the Union Home Ministry said that 73 terrorist infiltration attempts were reported both through the International Border and Line of Control in 2021. This is in fact the lowest in five years.
