Uri, Jammu and Kashmir: In a massive breakthrough, one terrorist was killed in the Uri Sector along the Line of Control (LoC) during the ongoing anti-infiltration operation by the security forces, the Indian Army said on Sunday. 

The operation, codenamed 'Bajrang,' was launched on June 22 following specific intelligence inputs, said officials. The operation is still underway, and further updates are expected as the situation develops.

The slain terrorist was affiliated with the Pakistan-based terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed sources. However, the security forces are yet to confirm the identity. 

Sharing the development on social media platform X, the Chinar Corps of the Indian Army said, “One terrorist has been killed in the ongoing anti-infiltration Operation that was launched on 22 Jun in the Uri Sector; Operations are continuing.”

Notably, the Uri Sector along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir has been a frequent site for infiltration attempts, making it a critical zone for security operations. 

Earlier this week, two Pakistani terrorists associated with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) were killed in an encounter with security forces in the Baramulla district of north Kashmir. Two security personnel were also injured in the encounter which broke out in the Hadipura village of the Rafiabad area.
