This infiltration bid was supported by fire from Pakistan Rangers post Dhandhar, a BSF spokesperson said.
He said the troops neutralised the infiltration bid, killing “at least” seven terrorists and caused “extensive” damage to the Dhandhar post.
Officials said there could be more terrorists, who could have been neutralised.
The BSF also shared a thermal imager clip of the firing and “destruction” of a bunker of the said post where a heavy machine gun of the Rangers was mounted.
The force is on high alert in the wake of the current hostilities between the two countries following the Pahalgam terrorist attack of April 22 and India’s strike on terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation. PTI NES DV DV
