The Army killed six militants on Saturday morning in a bid to prevent another attempt of infiltration along the Line of Control in Rampur sector. 
During a search operation in the region, the Army acted after troops noticed suspicious movement along the LoC in Rampur sector in the early hours. “Operation abhi on hai. Militants phanse huye hain aur dono taraf se firing chal rahi hai (the operation is still on, militants are trapped and firing is going on from both ends),” an Army officer was quoted as saying.

The summer has brought in its wake increased infiltration attempts in the region. On Friday, Indian Army neutralised two Pakistani Border Action Team (BAT) terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Uri sector. The defence experts praised this move and said it will break the myth of the supremacy of the Pakistani BAT.
