“Movement was from a village close to the LoC and the suspects had crossed into Indian territory. Their movement was under constant surveillance.
“Due to adverse terrain, thick foliage and bad weather conditions, alert was sounded for a likely infiltration attempt. Surveillance Grid was beefed up across the area, ambushes were re-sited to thwart any such attempt. Surveillance continued through the night,” it said.
The Army further said that the next morning, a search of the area was carried out.
The area has villages ahead of the Anti-infiltration fence. The modus operandi is to leave War Like Stores in caches along the LoC; which is subsequently picked up by OGWs or terrorists for further transportation into the hinterland to be used for terror activities. #Kashmir pic.twitter.com/UGmkV3lJto

These attempts expose the desperation of Pakistan based terror groups to infiltrate weapons into J&K, with the active connivance of Pakistan Army. Robust surveillance and LoC domination will continue to deny all such misadventures.#Kashmir @adgpi pic.twitter.com/b7BDlcAvK1
