J&K: 2 terrorists shot dead while making infiltration bid

Intelligence Bureau reports had warned about increased attempts by Pakistan to push in terrorists into the Valley before the winter sets in.

Two terrorists were gunned down while trying to make an infiltration bid at the Machil sector in Kupwara, Jammu and Kashmir. Terrorists tried to infiltrate into Indian territory in the wee hours of hours, but were spotted and gunned down by the Indian Army.

The infiltration bid comes in the midst of scores of cease fire violations being reported by Pakistan. Pakistan normally resorts to such violations and provides cover fire so that terrorists can infiltrate.
