In a statement shared on social media platform X, the White Knight Corps said troops acted on persistent surveillance inputs and successfully foiled the infiltration bid before the intruders could move deeper into the region.
During the operation, one intruder was killed by the Army. Officials said troops maintained control of the area and ensured there was no breach of the LoC.
Security forces have continued search and domination operations in the surrounding region to rule out the possibility of additional infiltrators. The Army said troops remain on high operational alert across the sector amid continued attempts by terrorists to infiltrate from across the border.
Sources indicated that the intruder was suspected to have links with the Pakistan-based terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba. Officials said the infiltrator was reportedly attempting to cross into Indian territory near the Bicho Post area in Mankote.
