Press Trust of India Jammu
The army on Saturday gunned down three heavily-armed terrorists and foiled an infiltration bid along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district.

The group of terrorists was attempting to infiltrate into the Indian territory from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), a Defence Spokesman said here.

The troops spotted and traced their movement in Saujian area of Poonch and kept tightening the cordon around them, leaving no escape route, he added.

A massive search operation was on for 36 hours which led to exchange of fire resulting in all the three terrorists being killed, he said.

The spokesman described it as a "flawless surgical operation" executed by the army ensuring neutralisation of all the terrorists and no casualty on their side.
