Two terrorists were gunned down as the Army foiled an infiltration bid along the LoC in Kupwara on Thursday. A search operation was underway in the area at the time of filing this report.

“On specific intelligence input, a joint search operation was launched by the Army and J&K Police in Amrohi, Tangdhar and Kupwara on May 15,” read a post on the X handle of Chinar Corps.
