NEW DELHI: The Indian Army foiled an infiltration attempt along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Baramulla district on Wednesday, eliminating two terrorists in an ongoing operation near Uri, a day after the Pahalgam terror attack that left 28 tourists dead.
According to the Chinar Corps, 2–3 unidentified terrorists tried to infiltrate through the general area of Sarjeevan at Uri Nala on April 23. Alert troops challenged the infiltrators, leading to a heavy exchange of fire. Later on, the Corps confirmed the elimination of two terrorists.
“Heavy exchange of fire between security forces and terrorists, two terrorists have been eliminated… large quantity of weapons, ammunition and other war-like stores have been recovered. Operation is in progress,” it posted.
This infiltration attempt came a day after the deadly terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam, which killed at least 28 tourists and left many others wounded. The attack, claimed by The Resistance Front, which is an offshoot of the ISI-backed Lashkar-e-Taiba, marked the deadliest assault since the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019.
It also came during US Vice President JD Vance’s India visit and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s trip to Saudi Arabia. PM Modi returned to Delhi early Wednesday, cutting short his trip following the attack. He immediately held a high-level briefing at Palam Airport with external affairs minister S Jaishankar, NSA Ajit Doval, foreign secretary Vikram Misri and other top officials.
The Prime Minister skipped an official dinner hosted in Riyadh and returned nearly a full day early. PM Modi had earlier condemned the Pahalgam attack, assuring the nation that those responsible would be held accountable. “They will not be spared,” he said, reaffirming India’s unwavering resolve against terrorism.
Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman also returned early from her official visit to the US and Peru following the attack.
Meanwhile, a joint operation by the Army and J&K Police is underway in Pahalgam’s Baisran area to track down the perpetrators. Candlelight marches were held in multiple towns and villages across J&K as residents expressed solidarity with the victims and their families.
