BSF Jawan Injured in IED Blast During Border Patrol in Punjab

The explosion occurred during an area domination patrol in Gurdaspur, with additional IEDs defused after daybreak as authorities investigate potential sabotage.

A BSF jawan sustained a serious leg injury from an IED blast along the India-Pakistan border in Punjab's Gurdaspur district on the night of April 8-9, 2025.
The incident occurred during an area domination patrol, where multiple IEDs with concealed wires were detected well inside Indian territory.
While cordoning off and sanitizing the area, a concealed detonating device accidentally triggered, causing the injury.
The BSF bomb disposal squad defused the remaining IEDs after daybreak, ensuring the area was secured.
Emerging claims suggest the IEDs may have been part of a deliberate attempt to target security personnel and local farmers, prompting heightened border vigilance.
