Infiltration bid foiled in Sunderbani area of Rajouri district
Alert troops of the Indian Army’s White Knight Corps successfully thwarted an infiltration bid by terrorists along the Line of Control (LoC) in the early hours of Thursday.
According to a statement issued by the Nagrota-based White Knight Corps, based on intelligence inputs and sustained surveillance, the troops detected suspicious movement of terrorists in the general area of Nathua Tibba, Sunderbani sector, in Rajouri district.
“Alert troops responded promptly with calibrated and targeted fire, foiling the infiltration attempt. No casualties were reported on the Indian side, and the intruders were forced to retreat without crossing the border”.
To prevent any fresh infiltration bid, the ground troops have been repositioned and re-oriented to strengthen control over the area. In a post on X, the White Knight Corps said, “Integrated ground patrols and aerial surveillance have been intensified to maintain comprehensive domination. A high State of operational alert continues across the sector to prevent any further attempts”.
Meanwhile, a separate terror module was also busted by the joint team of security forces with the arrest of an individual, Sachin alias Pamma, a resident of Nowshera.
During the operation, security forces recovered 01 x TISAS Zigana 9mm (Turkey-made) pistol, 01 x TT-30 (Norinco, China-made) pistol, 02 x extended 50-round Zigana magazines, 02 x standard pistol magazines and 15 x 9mm live rounds.
Preliminary investigation indicates the individual was in direct contact with Pakistan-based terrorists/ smugglers and was operating a trans-border, inter-State weapons racket.
