Four heavily armed terrorists, known as fidayeen, or a suicide squad, killed 19 soldiers and left several critically injured at a terror attack at the army's administrative base in Uri.

India's DGMO stated that Indian special forces targeted 7 terror camps across the LoC on the intervening night of 28-29 September in response to Uri.

Pakistan continues to deny that the raid took place.

In the 6th ceasefire violation in the last 24 hours, Pakistani troops resorted to firing on Indian positions in Pallanwala sector, Jammu and Nowshera sector Rajouri.

Sources said Pakistan was "using small arms, automatics and mortar."

A Jammu and Kashmir police officer has been taken into custody after he was caught passing information on troop movements and formations in the state.

Pakistan has violated the ceasefire along the LoC in Nowshera district in Jammu.

This was the fourth infiltration bid foiled by the army in the span of one week.
