Officials, however, said that a group of infiltrators tried to sneak into the Valley near Sadnari post close to the LoC. The movement of militants was picked up by the troops and search operation was jointly launched by the Army and Border Security Forces. As search party reached near the militants, they opened fire.

Officials, however, said that there is possibility that more militants are hiding in the area.

On June 6, Army had foiled an infiltration bid in North Kashmir’s Nowgam sector killing three infiltrators. Earlier, four infiltrators were killed in Tanghdar sector soon after they sneaked into the Valley after scaling the LoC fence.
