A top Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander was among four terrorists killed on Monday after a landmine exploded during an alleged infiltration attempt along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district, officials said.
The incident took place in the KG Sector along the LoC, where the four men were reportedly attempting to cross into Indian territory when the explosion occurred.
Officials identified the deceased as Muhammad Ishtiaq, Muhammad Waqas, Muhammad Asim and senior LeT commander Muhammad Faizan. They were reportedly residents of Mandla and Madarpur in Tehsil Hajira, located in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Security Tightened Along LoC
Following the explosion, security forces sounded an alert across the sector and increased surveillance along the LoC. Security personnel are monitoring the area to assess the situation and prevent any further infiltration attempts or possible security breaches.
The incident comes amid continued security concerns along the Line of Control, where Indian forces maintain surveillance to detect and prevent cross-border infiltration. Further details about the incident and the circumstances surrounding the alleged infiltration attempt have not been disclosed by officials.
