New Delhi: An infiltration bid by Pakistan across the Line of Control (LoC) was foiled by the Indian soldiers on the intervening night of September 12 and 13, when they also killed an intruder suspected to be a BAT commando, defence sources said.
Indian Army on Wednesday released a video of infiltration attempt by Border Action Team (BAT) along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir by Pakistan Army, which continues its attempt to push terrorists into India.
In the video captured on hand-held Thermal Imager an infiltration or attempted BAT action by Pakistan on September 12-13, 2019 was seen and eliminated.
The video shows Indian troops launching grenades at Pakistan’s SSG (Special Service Group) commandos/terrorists using Under Barrel Grenade Launchers.
Earlier this month, the Army had killed two soldiers near the Hajipir sector. The dead bodies were retrieved by Pakistani troops after raising a white flag.
“In the same area, Pakistan attempted infiltration on the night of 11 and 12 September and again on 12 and 13 September. The attempt could have been BAT action as well.
“The area reportedly has Pakistani Special Services Group troops. These intruders were well-engaged resulting in one more Pakistani casualty on 12 and 13 September,” said an army official.
The bid was foiled by the Indian troops by launching grenades.
A BAT intrusion had been foiled by India in the Keran sector of Jammu and Kashmir in the last week of July. The dead bodies of the five BAT commandos lying near a forward post along the LoC are yet to be claimed by Pakistan.
