Rajouri/Jammu, September 14: A soldier was injured in an encounter with terrorists trying to infiltrate across the Line of Control (LoC) on Saturday, security officials said.
The encounter took place in the Kharar sector of Nowshera district when Indian troops guarding the Line of Control intercepted a group of terrorists trying to infiltrate this side, officials said.
This is the second time in the past one week that terrorists have tried to sneak into Nowshera. Earlier on September 9, two heavily armed terrorists were killed near the Line of Control in the Ram sector of the district.
Officials said Army troops noticed some terrorists and challenged them, which triggered a gunfight that lasted for some time. The terrorists fled into the nearby forests and a massive search operation is underway to hunt down and eliminate them.
