What's the story

The Indian Army on Saturday revealed it foiled a major infiltration attempt by four heavily armed terrorists near the International Border (IB) in Khour of Jammu and Kashmir's Akhnoor district.

At least one terrorist was killed during the operation; his body was purportedly dragged back across the IB by the remaining terrorists.

Meanwhile, authorities snapped mobile internet in Poonch and Rajouri after three people, supposedly taken by the Army for questioning regarding the recent Poonch ambush attack, were found dead.

Terrorists' moves observed via surveillance devices

According to the Army, the terrorists' infiltration bid at the Khour sector took place on the intervening night of Friday and Saturday.

After their suspicious moves were observed through surveillance devices, the Army troops responded by opening fire.

One of the four terrorists was hit and fell, whose body was eventually dragged back by the remaining ones across the IB.
