Army foils infiltration bid in Machil sector of J&K, 4 terrorists killed

Four terrorists were gunned down when the Army foiled an infiltration bid in Machil sector of north Kashmir's Kupwara district, as per latest information from ANI. 

The incident took place late last night when troops guarding the Line of Control (LoC) noticed a group of terrorists trying to infiltrate into the valley from across the border in Machil sector under the cover of darkness, the Army official said. Troops engaged the heavily-armed terrorists who tried to escape taking advantage of the thick forest cover. As per latest reports 4 terrorists have been killed by the Indian army. The operation is currently on. 

 This is the third infiltration bid foiled by the Army in north Kashmir in the past fortnight.

On May 26, two Pakistani Border Action Team (BAT) members who tried to infiltrate into Uri sector to carry out an attack on the soldiers were killed. Six more militants were killed in the same sector next day when they attempted to sneak into the valley from across the border.
