On July 30, 2025, Indian security forces successfully thwarted an infiltration attempt in Jammu & Kashmir’s Poonch district amid heavy overnight rainfall. Troops identified two to three individuals attempting to cross the Line of Control and engaged them in a coordinated operation in the Digwar sector.

In the ensuing encounter, at least one intruder was killed, while others are believed to have been hit or captured, though their status remains under investigation. The brisk response from the joint team comprising the Indian Army and local law enforcement underscores the alertness and preparedness along this sensitive border region.

This development follows prior infiltration attempts in the area earlier this year, including similar operations in Poonch that led to the deaths of two terrorists. The region has remained volatile with intermittent infiltrations and associated firefights.

Investigation and combing operations are ongoing as security agencies work to neutralize any remaining threats and ensure border integrity.

Officials affirmed that such actions reflect sustained vigilance and deterrence readiness along the LoC, delivering a message of zero tolerance toward cross-border terrorism.
