J&K: 5 Terrorists Of Ghaznavi Force Killed As Indian Army Foils Biggest Infiltration Bid In 2 Years
The five foreign terrorists killed by security forces on Friday morning belonged to the JK Ghaznavi Force (JKGF) and were seasoned in guerilla warfare, Major General Girish Kalia said at a media briefing.
The heavily armed terrorists were gunned down along the Line of Control (LoC) in Kupwara district, with the Army calling it the “biggest” infiltration bid to have been foiled since 2021, when India and Pakistan effected a ceasefire understanding.
“Joint security forces neutralised five highly trained foreign terrorists of JK Ghaznavi Force (JKGF). The terrorists, seasoned in guerilla warfare in Afghan-Pak theater, were trying to infiltrate into Indian territory in Jumagund area near LoC in Kupwara district,” Major General Kalia said.

The operation, named Op Jumagund, was launched based on specific intelligence received by Kupwara Police about the likely infiltration of the group. Multiple ambushes were set up along the expected routes of infiltration.
“On being intercepted, the terrorists attacked the joint ambush parties. This was retaliated by well-controlled firepower resulting in the encounter and consequent neutralisation without any loss to Indian security forces,” the Army said.
