| Search operation resumes in woods near LoC in north Kashmir | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Oct 7: With the first light this morning, troops resumed massive search operation in the woods near the Line of Control (LoC) in Naugam sector in the frontier district of Kupwara, where four Pakistani infiltrators were killed yesterday. The Langate operation, where three fidayeens were killed by alert troops before they could storm into 30 Rashtriya Rifle (RR) camp early yesterday morning, was over as there was no more militant in the area which has been thoroughly searched during the day, defence ministry spokesman Colonel Rajesh Kalia told UNI today. He said search operation has been resumed in the woods in Naugam sector in north Kashmir district of Kupwara with the first light this morning. However, so far no fresh contact was established with any militant.
The operation was stopped late last night due to darkness and dense forest to avoid any casualty.
The operation was launched immediately after troops foiled infiltration bids in the sector yesterday. Four foreign militants, who refused to surrender and opened fire with automatic weapons when asked to surrender immediately after they sneaked into this side from Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK), were killed. Large cache of arms and ammunition were also recovered from the slain militants. Later, additional troops were rushed from nearby camps to the area to further tighten the cordon and foil attempt by any militant to escape.
According to intelligence reports, about 100 trained militants are waiting at launch pads across the LoC to sneak into this side from PoK before infiltration routes are closed due to snowfall. However, troops are already on high alert and have intensified night and foot patrolling to foil any infiltration bid. |
