JAMMU, July 11: The BSF today foiled infiltration attempt by four armed militants along the International Border (IB) in Hiranagar sector in Kathua district. This was the second intrusion bid thwarted on the IB during past three days.
Official sources said the alert BSF jawans observed movement of four militants, equipped with weapons, sitting on Pakistan side opposite Hiranagar sector in Kathua district, at 2 am today.
