J-K: One terrorist killed as infiltration bid foiled in Nowshera

Rajouri, March 10

An infiltration attempt along the Line of Control in the Nowshera sector of Jammu and Kashmir was foiled by alert troops, with one Pakistan-sponsored terrorist eliminated during the operation, the Indian Army's White Knight Corps said on Tuesday.

The White Knight Corps said the movement of two terrorists was detected in the general area of Jhangar in Nowshera along the LoC at around 3 pm today after intelligence agencies shared credible inputs.

Acting swiftly on the information, troops launched a calibrated response to stop the infiltration attempt.

In a post on X, White Knight Corps wrote, "Acting on credible intelligence inputs by Intelligence Agencies, movement of two terrorists was detected in the general area of Jhangar. Nowshera along the Line of Control at around 3 pm on 10 Mar 2026. Responding with swift and calibrated combat action, alert troops of White Knight Corps engaged swiftly, successfully foiling the infiltration attempt. In the ensuing engagement, one Pakistan Sponsored Terrorist was eliminated, effectively denying any breach of the LoC."

"Own troops have been reoriented to search for a second terrorist and to ensure relentless domination of the area, supported by integrated ground and aerial surveillance. A robust operational posture and heightened alert continue across the sector," the post read.

According to the Army, troops engaged the infiltrators in an ensuing exchange of fire, during which one Pakistan-sponsored terrorist was killed, successfully preventing any breach along the LoC. The Army said the prompt action by its personnel ensured that the infiltration bid was thwarted before the terrorists could enter further into Indian territory.

Following the encounter, troops have been reoriented to continue search operations in the area to track down the second terrorist who was reportedly part of the infiltration attempt.

The Army said efforts are underway to maintain strict surveillance and domination in the sector to prevent any further movement.

This is good news, but also a stark reminder that these attempts haven't stopped. The intelligence sharing seems to be working well. Hope the second terrorist is caught soon. Our forces need all the advanced surveillance tech we can give them.

Directly calling it "Pakistan-Sponsored Terrorist" is the right move. No more beating around the bush. The world needs to see the source of this constant trouble. Proud of our army's professionalism.

While I fully support our troops, I sometimes wonder about the human cost on all sides. Is there a long-term political solution being worked on alongside these necessary military actions? Just a thought.

The integrated ground and aerial surveillance is key. We must keep investing in drones and tech to dominate the LoC completely. One less terrorist is one step towards peace for J&K. Well done!

News like this makes me both proud and sad. Proud of our jawans, but sad that young men are being radicalized and sent across to die for someone else's agenda. When will this stop?
