| Srinagar, Aug 30: The Indian army on Sunday foiled a major infiltration bid by separatist guerrillas in north Kashmir's Uri sector, killing six of the intruders, defence sources said here. The gunfight was continuing late on Sunday night.
"A major infiltration bid was foiled by the alert army troops in Uri sector of the LOC (Line of Control). A group of heavily armed infiltrators crossed over to this side of the LOC after which they were challenged and asked to surrender," the sources told the media.
"The infiltrators opened fire at the troops, triggering a fierce encounter that is still going on in the area," the sources said around 11 p.m.
According to the sources, six intruders have so far been killed but their identity would only be established after the operation ends in the mountainous area. (IANS) |
