Indian Army Foils LoC Infiltration Bid as Massive Search Operation Unfolds in Uri

Overview

• Troops detected suspicious movement near the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir’s Uri sector and rapidly imposed cordons and intensified surveillance.
• Officials reported a brief exchange of fire with suspected infiltrators and said the group withdrew, with search operations continuing to prevent any crossing.
• Special teams are combing dense forests and ridge lines, including near the Nanak Post area, where gunshots were heard during the sweeps.
• Additional units have been deployed for a coordinated cordon-and-search across vulnerable stretches as difficult terrain and fluctuating visibility complicate the effort.
• Officials describe the attempt as consistent with pushes to send militants across before winter closures, with national vigilance elevated after the blast near Delhi’s Red Fort.
