It said the injured infiltrator managed to flee across the LoC fence along with the third infiltrator, taking advantage of the darkness.
The army said it foiled an infiltration bid along the Line of Control (LoC) in Tangdhar sector of northern Kashmir in the wee hours of Thursday during which one infiltrator was killed while two others managed to flee back across the fence.

"Alert troops deployed in an anti-infiltration grid detected move of three terrorists across own side of the LoC, while they were approaching the LoC fence. On being challenged at close proximity to the post, an intense firefight ensued between the terrorists and the alert troops, resulting in successful elimination of one terrorist, while grievously injuring the other," said an official statement. It said the injured infiltrator managed to flee across the LoC fence along with the third infiltrator, taking advantage of the darkness.

"We prevented efforts of Pakistan to destabilise peace and tranquillity in Kashmir valley and successfully maintain higher moral ascendancy over the enemy along the LoC," said the statement.
