According to Daily Excelsior, Army on March 20 foiled an infiltration bid near the Line of Control (LoC) in Kupwara District, killing three militants while four Army personnel sustained injuries in the gun-battle which was still continuing. Police sources in capital Srinagar said the Army laid an ambush in Rangwar forest area following specific information about a group of 10 to 12 militants infiltrating into Kashmir valley from Pakistan occupied Kashmir. The troops established contact with the infiltrators in the wee hours of the day following which an encounter ensued. Thus far, three militants have been shot dead while at least two others are still engaging the Security Forces in the area which has a dense forest cover.

Six militants were killed in the fresh exchange of fire between the militants and Security Forces (SFs) in the forests near the Line of Control (LoC) in Kupwara District as the operation entered its fifth day on March 24, Daily Excelsior reported. The death toll in the ongoing operation, which has been extended from Chowkibal to Hafrada in the Vilgam area of Handwara, has now risen to 25 including 17 militants, seven soldiers and an Army Major. "Six militants were neutralized during exchange of fire today. With this the total number of militants killed in the operation since Friday has risen to 17," Defence spokesman Lt Colonel J S Brar said. He said a huge cache of arms and ammunition has been recovered from the area in which the operation was going on for the last over 108 hours. "The recoveries include 17 assault rifles, 13 AK magazines, 207 AK ammunition rounds, four Under Barrel Grenade Launchers (UBGL) and 21 UBGL grenades," he stated. One Kenwood radio set, a Thuraya satellite phone, two Global Positioning Systems (GPS), three map sheets, three matrix sheets, two have sacks and Rupees 9200 Indian currency have also been recovered from the area, he added. The operation was still in progress, the spokesman said adding there were no casualties among the SFs during the operation on March 24. The group most likely consisted of an infiltrating column as well as the militants who had come to receive them, he said adding that the operation was based on sound intelligence inputs as well as human intelligence provided by own sources of the Army. As per the intercepts over the past 24 hours, the militants were asked by their handlers across the border to return to their base camps after the militants found it difficult to break the security cordon, official sources said. They said three of the six militants were killed close to the LoC while they were trying to cross back to Pakistan occupied Kashmir.

A plot by the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) to target forward Army posts and other sensitive installations in border Districts has been averted by the troops who foiled an infiltration attempt by three fidayeen (suicide squad) militants from Sabjian in the Mandi sector of Poonch District in the night in which one infiltrator was killed while two others were forced to retrieve. The infiltrators, all top militants and members of LeT’s suicide squad, had been launched from Cobra 1 post of army in PoK. The intruders took positions at an isolated forest area and opened indiscriminate firing on the troops, who retaliated. The militants also lobbed grenades on the Army personnel. In approximately an hour long encounter close to the LoC, the Army personnel killed one of the infiltrators while two others retrieved to PoK taking cover of darkness. There were no casualties on Army side in the exchange of firing. According to sources, maps of Army posts in forward locations and other sensitive installations of Poonch have been recovered from the possession of the slain militant. More documents seized from the spot confirmed that all three militants were Pakistanis and part of a suicide squad of the LeT outfit.

Yet another infiltration attempt, backed by Pakistan troops, was made by a group of Pakistani militants from the Line of Control (LoC) at Sagra village in the Mendhar sector of Poonch district in the early hours of September 1. An Army trooper is reported to have died in the firing from across the LoC. "It was being ascertained as to whether the bullet was fired by Pakistan army or the militants trying to sneak-in. The bullet was fired from a sniper rifle which was available with top commanders of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Hizbul Mujahideen militants", official sources told the Daily Excelsior. The Indian Army is reported to have sought a flag meeting with Pakistan army commanders on the LoC to lodge a protest on both aspects – the cease-fire violation and infiltration attempt by the militants. According to sources, Pakistan army and Rangers have been using a new modus operandi on the LoC as well as the International Border (IB) to push militants. They first target forward Indian posts and then try to push the militants by diverting the attention of the Security Forces. However, the Pakistan army and Rangers have not succeeded in their plan so far, sources added.

He said the heavily-armed militants opened firing on the Army troops, leading to a exchange of gunfire between the two sides. "One militant was killed in the exchange of firing while another was caught alive, clearly establishing Pakistan's link to unrest in the State," he added. The arrested militant was identified as 23-year old Tanveer Ahmad alias Anas, a resident of Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), who claimed to have received training in Muzaffarabad for four months. Two AK rifles, a large quantity of war like stores, including a GPS and a Thuraya Set, were recovered from the incident site. This is the third infiltration bid at the LoC since November 14.

A Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of the Border Security Force (BSF), Om Prakash Tanwar, was killed and his driver and a body-guard were injured when their vehicle was blown up in a powerful Improvised Explosive Device (IED), planted by the militants after infiltration into Indian territory from the International Border (IB) and reportedly detonated with a remote control device, at Maluchak in Ramgarh sector of Samba District, Daily Excelsior reported. Reports indicated that the militants had returned after planting the IED after they set off from Pakistan’s Lehri Kalan launching pad in the midnight firing indiscriminately on the forward BSF post. This is for the first time after the outbreak of militancy more than two decades ago that a DIG rank BSF officer was killed on the IB. Official sources said the militants having repeatedly failed in infiltration into the Indian side from both the Line of Control (LoC) and IB were reported to have targeted the BSF by planting a powerful IED before returning to Pakistan from the forward area ahead of fencing. Security Forces (SFs) have recovered about eight bags of ‘Best Way Cements Ltd’, made in Pakistan, in which the militants had brought sand to the Indian side to hide the IED under it. The bags were left at the spot by the militants after planting the IED and burying it under the sand. Sources said the BSF troopers from their advance post of Ballarh in Ramgarh sector observed movement of six militants, each in two groups, at about 1.30 am. Even as the troopers sounded an alert along the IB, one of the groups of militants opened firing on the BSF in a bid to infiltrate into Indian territory. However, the BSF personnel retaliated and the exchange of firing continued for about an hour. While one group of militants engaged the BSF in firing, another group was reported to have sneaked into the Indian side along with a powerful IED and sand bags. They planted the IED at the road used by the BSF for surveillance of the border, covered it with sand brought from across and reportedly took shelter about 400 meters away anticipating that senior BSF officers would visit the spot in the morning to assess the situation after firing. Sources said the militants detonated the IED with a remote control device from a distance as soon as the DIG’s jeep touched the site of explosive device at about 8.55 am.
