Drone attacks effectively repulsed
According to the BSF, the surveillance grid saw the group of terrorists during the intervening night of May 8 and 9 as they were infiltrating the Samba Sector.
The infiltration bid comes around the same time Islamabad carried out aerial strikes in various parts of India, including Jammu, Punjab and Rajasthan.
The Indian Army said the drone attacks were effectively repulsed and a befitting reply was given to ceasefire violations (CFVs) along the LoC.
