    Senior Indian Army officials said the Pakistani Border Action Team (BAT) that crossed the LoC into Poonch, J&K, on June 22 and killed two Indian troops comprised of both militants and Pakistani special forces members. The BAT was armed with 'special daggers' and 'headband cameras' meant to record the ambush on Indian forces and their mutilation. Indian troops foiled the BAT attack.

    On June 22, a BAT of "five to seven heavily-armed men, under the cover of Pakistani firing, entered 600 meters inside the LoC in Gulpur forward area in Poonch sector," an Indian Army officer said. An exchange of fire left two Indian troops and two BAT intruders dead. One intruder's body was retrieved while the other's was taken back to Pakistan by the BAT.
