Overview

• Troops from the Indian Army’s 24 Grenadiers detected movement from Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir near Hyder Post around 4 a.m. and opened fire.
• The Army says at least two infiltrators were neutralized, but the bodies have not been recovered due to continuing firing and difficult terrain.
• Security forces are searching near Balbir Post for three to four more suspected militants, with additional units deployed to secure the area.
• Officials say infiltration attempts typically rise before winter as snowfall closes high mountain passes, and border patrols have been intensified.
• In a separate development, the BSF launched a search in Jammu’s Samba district after suspected drone activity near Karalian village and increased surveillance along the International Border.
