Jammu, March 4 – Alert army troops thwarted an infiltration attempt on Wednesday along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Bhimber Gali sector of Poonch district, Jammu and Kashmir.
The White Knight Corps, headquartered in Nagrota, stated: "Acting on credible intelligence and continuous surveillance, the movement of terrorists was detected in the general area of Bhimber Gali along the Line of Control during the early hours of March 4, 2026. Responding with decisive force and demonstrating superior tactical execution, alert troops of the White Knight Corps swiftly engaged, thwarting the infiltration attempt and preventing any breach of the LoC."
The statement said that the enemy's plans were effectively thwarted through coordinated ground action.
"Our troops have been reoriented to ensure relentless dominance of the area, supported by integrated ground and aerial surveillance. A robust operational posture and heightened alert remain in force across the sector. The border remains vigilant – every infiltration attempt will fail," it read.
Jammu and Kashmir has a 740-km-long Line of Control (LoC) and a 240-km-long International Border.
The LoC runs through the Baramulla, Kupwara, and Bandipora districts in the Kashmir Valley and through Poonch, Rajouri, and parts of the Jammu district in the Jammu division.
The International Border lies in the Jammu, Samba, and Kathua districts of the Jammu division.
The Army guards the LoC, while the Border Security Force (BSF) guards the International Border in Jammu and Kashmir against infiltration, exfiltration, cross-border smuggling, and drone activities originating from the Pakistan side.
In the past, drones have been used to drop consignments of arms, ammunition, drugs, and cash for terrorists.
The Jammu and Kashmir Police and security forces regularly conduct operations against terrorists, their overground workers (OGWs), and sympathizers.
Drug smugglers, peddlers, and those involved in hawala money rackets are also on the radar of security agencies. It is believed that funds generated through such illegal activities are used to sustain terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
