Defying Terror: Indian Army Thwarts Infiltration in Poonch

In a bold pre-dawn operation, Indian Army troops thwarted an infiltration attempt by Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists along the Line of Control in Poonch district, Jammu and Kashmir, on Wednesday. The heavily-armed militants were neutralized following a fierce gunfight, officials reported.

The operation, termed 'ShivShakti,' is a joint effort by the Indian Army and local security agencies. Acting on credible intelligence, the forces laid strategic ambushes along possible infiltration routes, leading to the recovery of significant war-like stores, preventing potential terror activities in the region.

With no collateral damage reported, the operation underscores the high level of coordination and commitment to maintaining regional peace and security amidst ongoing threats. Search operations continue to ensure no further presence of militants in the area.
