Four Pakistani Terrorists Killed in Landmine Blast During LoC Infiltration Attempt in PoonchPreviousNext

Four Pakistani terrorists, including a top Lashkar-e-Taiba commander, were killed in a landmine blast while attempting to infiltrate Indian territory across the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district. The incident occurred in the Krishna Ghati sector, a known infiltration route, where the group triggered mines planted as part of the Indian Army's anti-infiltration grid. The deceased were identified as Muhammad Ishtiaq, Muhammad Faizan, Muhammad Waqas, and Muhammad Asim, all residents of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Security forces have heightened vigilance along the border following the blast.
