Three Indian soldiers were killed in the Macchil sector of Kupwara District along the Line of Control (LoC) on November 22,reports Times of India. One of the killed soldiers was beheaded. The three soldiers from 57 Rashtriya Rifles (RR) were in the lead of a counter-infiltration patrol when it was ambushed by terrorists ahead of the LoC fencing in forested mountainous Macchil sector. "The Pakistan army simultaneously opened fire at our patrol. Once the situation stabilised, the three bodies were found in the search operation... one was badly mutilated," said an unnamed officer.The Indian Army, meanwhile, on November 22 promised "heavy retribution" for the beheading of the soldier. "Retribution will be heavy for this cowardly act of mutilating a soldier's body," said the Army, which had destroyed four Pakistan army posts with massive fire assaults after an Indian soldier was beheaded in a similar border action team (BAT) operation in the same sector on October 28. A BAT typically consists of terrorists working in close conjunction with Pakistan army regulars for tactical operations against Indian troops and posts along the 778 kilometers LoC.On November 22, the Border Security Force (BSF) after foiling an infiltration attempt at Suchetgarh in R S Pura sector, as reported earlier by SATP, stated that CCTV footage available with it showed that two militants who had fled back to Pakistan took shelter in a post of the Rangers after terror guide was killed. Inspector General of BSF, Jammu Frontiers, DK Upadhyaya said, “… However, the militants fled back and took shelter in a post manned by the Rangers after the terror guide was gunned down by the BSF.” Upadhyaya said this was seventh infiltration attempt that has been foiled by the BSF on the International Border since September 29 surgical strikes by the Indian Army. A total of 15 infiltration attempts have been foiled so far in 2016 along the IB, he added. The BSF Jammu Chief said BSF has recovered Pakistani currency notes, Pakistan made eatables, fencing cutters, knife, Urdu newspapers, visiting cards of Sialkot and a booklet written in Chinese language along with a China leaflet from the possession of slain militants. “All this material was enough to establish the involvement of Pakistan behind the infiltration attempt and we will lodge very strong protest with the Rangers on their open support to the militants,” the IG BSF said.
