Indian Army foils another BAT action by Pakistan, gives video evidence

Indian Army on Wednesday released a video of infiltration or attempted Border Action Team (BAT) action along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir by Pakistan Army, which continues to push terrorists into India. In the video captured on a hand-held Thermal Imager, an infiltration or attempted BAT action by Pakistan on September 12-13, 2019, was seen and eliminated. The video shows Indian troops launching grenades at Pakistan's SSG (Special Service Group) commandos/terrorists using Under Barrel Grenade Launchers.

Army sources told Zee Media that Pakistan Army is trying to conduct BAT actions all along LOC, but Indian troops are cautious and alert to counter any such activity. The Indian Army recently thwarted two BAT actions — one in Gurez and one in Hajipir sector. In the Gurez sector, bodies of Pakistani infiltrators are still lying near LoC, while Pakistan Army claimed the bodies of infiltrators in Hajipir. Most vulnerable areas for BAT action are Machhil, Gurez, Keran, Poonch sectors of J&K.
