BSF foils terrorist infiltration attempt at R S Pura border in Jammu, seizes weapons

NEW DELHI: The Border Security Force (BSF) successfully thwarted an infiltration attempt by a terrorist along the International Border in the R S Pura border area during the night between Saturday and Sunday.

The BSF spokesperson reported that the troops detected suspicious movement of an intruder approaching the fence under the cover of darkness, but their attempt was foiled by the BSF personnel.

A comprehensive search operation was conducted in the morning, which resulted in the recovery of a significant cache of arms and ammunition.

The seized items included an AK assault rifle, two magazines, 17 rounds, two pistols, four magazines, and 20 rounds.

According to official sources, the BSF personnel opened fire with a light machine gun upon noticing the movement of an armed terrorist attempting to infiltrate Indian territory from across the border late Saturday night.

The intruder, however, fled back, abandoning the arms and ammunition at the scene. During the morning search, additional items were recovered, including a Pakistan-made bag, a cigarette packet, and some other articles, as reported by the officials.
