J&K: Army foils attack bid by Pakistan Border Action Team in Uri sector, 2 attackers killed

The Indian Army on Friday foiled an attack bid by Pakistan's Border Action Team (BAT) on patrol team in Jammu and Kashmir's Uri sector.

The army also killed two BAT attackers.

The attack comes four days after the Indian Army said it launched 'punitive fire assaults' on Pakistani positions across the Line of Control, inflicting "some damage", days after two of its troopers were beheaded.

The army had also released a video of the military action which showed some structures in a forested area crumbling in a heap under the impact of repeated shelling.

Though the Indian Army had not given much operational details of the retributive assault across the Line of Control (LoC) against Pakistan Army positions in Naushera sector of Jammu and Kashmir which were 'aiding' infiltration, sources in the force said the strike was carried out on May 9, nine days after two Indian security personnel were beheaded.

Earlier this month, the Pakistani soldiers along with their Border Action Team (BAT), which include trained border inhabitants had launched a joint attack. In an unsoldierly act by the Pakistan Army, the bodies of two of our soldiers in the patrol were mutilated.

The soldiers killed were Naib Subedar Paramjeet Singh of 22 Sikh Infantry and Head Constable Prem Sagar of 200th Battalion of Border Security Force (BSF)​. A BSF constable\ Rajinder Singh was injured but is out of danger.
