Overview
- The Army says a joint operation began on November 7 after agency inputs flagged an infiltration attempt in Kupwara’s Keran sector.
- Alert troops challenged suspicious movement near the LoC, drew indiscriminate fire, and established contact with the infiltrators.
- Two suspects were killed in the exchange, with searches and area domination ongoing; their identities and affiliations remain unverified.
- A defence spokesperson reported the recovery of rifles, pistols, grenades, and Pakistan-marked rations from the site, a detail not yet accompanied by confirmed identities.
- Parallel to the border action, police and intelligence units carried out coordinated raids and jail inspections across districts including Kulgam, Ganderbal, Shopian, Rajouri, Doda, and Sopore to disrupt alleged facilitator networks.
