Sources stated that the Indian Army thwarted an ambush by Pakistani infiltrators at its post along the LoC and killed seven of them, including 2-3 personnel from the Pakistan Army, during the night of February 4-5.
The event, occurring in the Krishna Ghati area of J&K’s Poonch district, coincided with Pakistan’s commemoration of ‘Kashmir Solidarity Day,’ a propaganda effort aimed at promoting its anti-India narrative.
According to sources, the Indian Army ambushed Pakistan’s Border Action Team (BAT), specialized units for cross-border missions, as they were trying to strike a forward post.
According to sources, 2-3 of the seven fatalities were regulars from the Pakistan army. The individuals killed in the operation were probably part of the Al-Badr group.

The update follows Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s statement earlier this week expressing a desire to address all matters, including Kashmir, with India through conversation.
Notably, the new initiative arose while leaders of terrorist groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) convened in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), revealing the nation’s hypocrisy.
India has consistently maintained that Jammu and Kashmir, along with Ladakh, “was, is, and shall forever” be a vital part of the nation and has stated that cordial ties with Pakistan are achievable only in a setting devoid of terror and violence.
