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.

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.

He said 12 Army soldiers, two women and two children were present inside the camp but the Army troopers acted very swiftly and quickly contained the hostage like situation by successfully evacuating all the troopers, women and children to safer locations. However, Lt Col Mehta said, in the attempt to rescue hostages, one more Army officer and two troopers were killed. “Bodies of three terrorists have been recovered and operations are in progress to sanitize the complete areas,” he added.

At least two militants and a soldier were killed, and one soldier was injured, when militants launched a Fidayeen (suicide) attack and lobbed grenades on two military camps in Baramulla District on October 2, reports The Times of India. The heavily-armed militants attacked the two camps, belonging to the Rashtriya Rifles (RR) and the Border Security Force (BSF) late last night, leading to a fierce gun-battle with Security Forces (SFs).

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.

The four terrorists who attacked the Army base in Uri sector in Baramulla District on September 18, killing 18 soldiers, belonged to Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), and managed to sneak in by cutting the perimeter fencing of the highly-guarded army installation at two places, investigations have shown. In an indication that the terrorists were well-versed of the layout of the army base close to the Line of Control (LoC), the assailants locked the cooking room and store from outside to prevent the soldiers from leaving before setting them afire, sources privy to the probe said on September 21. The investigators are not ruling out "insider help" to the terrorists in view of the precise nature of the actions undertaken by the intruders once inside the army base, the sources said, adding the attackers first cut the perimeter fencing at two places. After locking the cooking room and store, two of the terrorists started moving towards the officers’ quarters within the base but they were gunned down before they could inflict any further damage, they said. The two Global Positioning System (GPS) sets recovered from the slain militants were damaged during the attack and have been handed over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA), which is probing the case.

Threepersons were killed and four others were injured when a band of Left-Wing Extremist (LWE) group, People’s Liberation Front of India (PLFI), opened random fire at a gathering in a village in Khunti District late on September 26, reports Indian Express. Following the incident, the Police and the Central Reserve Police Force (CPRF) have launched a massive manhunt in the Naxal-dominated region. The Police said that the PLFI targeted people on the suspicion that they were holding a ‘peace meeting’. Villagers in Naxal-hit Districts of Khunti, Ranchi and West Singhbhum (Chaibasa) have been holding peace meetings for over a year, in which they urge people to shun violence and return to the mainstream. Officials said that, although the meeting was not a peace meeting, the attack on hapless villagers was among the biggest incidents by the LWE groups against such initiatives. Police sources said that peace meetings are usually attended by people from more than a couple of villages. The dead have been identified as Deet Munda (45), Raukan Purti (62), and Sukhram Munda (50). The four injured persons - Vikram Purti, Paku Purti, Toto Purti and Sinu Munda. Superintendent of Police (SP) of Khunti, Anish Gupta said: “This is clearly to spread terror. The extremist groups are losing their hold on the region and this appears to be an act of panic on their part. The villagers, prima facie, were not holding any peace meeting. We have launched a manhunt and combing operations are on.” The incident came to light when villagers of Raitorang brought the dead and the injured to the Sadar Hospital in Khunti. PLFI is a splinter group of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist).
