Alert troops of the Indian Army thwarted an infiltration attempt along the Line of Control
Rajouri: Alert troops of the Indian Army thwarted an infiltration attempt along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district on Thursday. The operation was carried out in the Sunderbani sector after security forces detected suspicious movement in the Nathua Tibba area during the early hours of the day.
According to defence officials, the movement of suspected terrorists was picked up through intelligence inputs and sustained surveillance. Troops of the Army’s White Knight Corps were already on heightened alert, enabling a rapid response once the activity was confirmed.

Security forces engaged with swift and calibrated fire, preventing the infiltrators from crossing over. The timely action ensured that the attempt was neutralised before any breach of the LoC could take place.
Following the encounter, troops were repositioned to strengthen control over the sector. The Army has intensified surveillance measures, integrating both ground patrols and aerial monitoring to maintain comprehensive domination of the area.
Officials stated that a high level of operational readiness continues to be maintained across the sector to prevent similar attempts. The rugged terrain and forested stretches along the LoC often make infiltration bids challenging to detect, underscoring the importance of continuous vigilance.

The foiled attempt highlights the persistent threat of cross-border infiltration in the Rajouri region. Security forces remain on guard, particularly in vulnerable sectors where militants have previously attempted to cross into Indian territory.
Authorities have reiterated their commitment to maintaining strict vigilance along the LoC. Enhanced surveillance systems, coordinated intelligence inputs and proactive troop deployment are being used to deter infiltration and ensure the safety of border communities.
The situation in the sector remains under close watch as security forces continue search and sanitisation operations in the surrounding areas.
