Earlier in the day, Border Security Force (BSF) troops foiled an intrusion bid along the international border (IB) in Punjab's Pathankot. A Pakistani intruder was shot dead by BSF troops.
The incident took place at pre-dawn on Wednesday when security personnel observed a suspicious movement along the international border at border outpost (BOP) Tashpatan in Pathankot border area.
"An intruder was observed crossing the IB; he was challenged by the alert troops but paid no heed & kept on moving; BSF troops sensing threat neutralised the intruder. The identity & motive of the intruder are being ascertained. Vigilant BSF troops thwarted an infiltration attempt," the BSF said.
Last week, India and Pakistan held a flag meeting along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district in an effort to ease tension after several recent incidents of cross-border firing and an IED attack. The ceasefire violations along the borders of Jammu and Kashmir have been rare since the two countries renewed an agreement on February 25, 2021.
Two Indian Army personnel, including a captain, were killed and another injured in an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attack carried out by suspected terrorists in the Akhnoor sector of the Jammu region on February 11.
