JAMMU: Alert troops of Border Security Force today foiled an infiltration bid amid firing from across the border at forward Border Outposts along the international border in Samba sector of Jammu region.
”Alert troops of BSF foiled a fierce stand-off attack on duty mound from Pakistan side at International Border in Samba Sector of Jammu region,” official spokesperson here said. He said that a group of heavily armed terrorists this afternoon reached close to International Boundary in Pakistan sides taking advantage of undulating ground and thick wild growth.
