Seven Pakistani Rangers and one militant were killed as Indian troops retaliated Cease Fire Agreement (CFA) violation by Pakistan along the International Border (IB) at Hiranagar in Kathua District of Jammu on October 21, reports Times of India. After the Rangers injured Border Security Force (BSF) jawan Gurnam Singh in sniper fire, BSF launched an aggressive retaliation marked by intermittent small arms and ‘area weapons’ fire. "We had to respond when they tried to prevent our efforts to rescue our injured jawan," BSF Additional Director-General (ADG) Arun Kumar said. The killing of the Rangers was part of a larger drive to prevent infiltration, which has seen the Army and paramilitary troopers foil determined efforts by the Pakistan Army to help terrorists cross over to India. BSF's ADG Kumar said that Gurnam and other BSF jawans were targeted because they had responded effectively to foil an attempt, captured by thermal imagers, to push terrorists into India on the intervening night of October 19 and 20 in the same area of Hiranagar. At least four terrorists were spotted as they moved along the IB. The BSF team, which comprised Gurnam, responded with full force, forcing terrorists to retreat and killing one of them. According to a BSF officer, thermal imagery showed the men on the Pakistani side carrying one person back. This, he said, was the terrorist killed in retaliatory fire by BSF.

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.

The said house was cordoned off and when the security forces party entered into the house for searching, terrorist fired on them. The fire was retaliated and the ensuing gun battle lasted for almost two days. The operation concluded today [December 9] when a joint team of Jammu and Kashmir Police and CRPFs Quick Action Team (QAT) stormed the house and cleared it.

He said that during the search operation, two bodies of the militants and three AK-rifles along with other incriminating material has been recovered from the debris of the house. As reported earlier, one civilian was killed in the cross-fire on December 8.Meanwhile, an unnamed Police official said that the three LeT terrorists killed in the encounter at Anantnag were planning to create fresh unrest in the Valley on the lines of disturbances that followed after Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militant Burhan Wani was gunned down in a similar encounter on July 8, reports Times of India on December 10. "They wanted the protests by locals’ supporters to get out of hand and lead to a law & order face-off between the forces and local sympathizers. This, they believed, would have triggered a fresh spell of unrest in the Valley. However, with locals failing to come in aggressive support and confining themselves to pelting stones at the forces, it seems their plans went awry, and they finally fell to the bullets after a protracted gunfight," said the officer.
