One of the attacker was injured in the Indian retaliatory action and his body was extricated under the cover of heavy firing by the Pakistani troops from their posts across the LoC, an Army official said.
The Border Action Team (BAT), which generally comprises special forces of the Pakistan Army and some terrorists, carried out the attack at around 2 pm with the aid of cover fire by the Pakistani troops from their posts, he said.
The official said the Indian Army's 'Area Domination Patrol' was "targeted by the armed intruders and exchange of fire occurred."
"Pakistan's BAT team was 600 metres within the Indian side of the LoC and 200 metres from the Indian posts," the official said.
The Indian troops retaliated and in the firefight, two Indian jawans were killed, the official said.
The Indian troops killed one armed intruder, whose body "is within visual reach", he said.
While the firefight was going on, the Pakistani posts resorted to heavy firing, the official said.
