New Delhi, Aug 03: In a pre-dawn operation, the Indian Army foiled a major infiltration bid along the Line on Control.

The Army detected suspicious movement of unidentified persons at around 600 metres on the own side of the Line of Control at Machhal Sector, Kupwara.

The infiltrating terrorists were intercepted by the Indian forces. A fire-fight ensued and after the first light a search was carried out and blood trail was seen.

The Army recovered 3 AK 47s, a sniper rifle, 8 grenades and other war like stores.

An recent assessment showed that Pakistan has been upping the ante and is attempting scores of infiltrations into the Valley.
