New Delhi: Thursday, August 08, 2013(7STARNEWS)The Border Security Force (BSF) personnel on Thursday foiled an infiltration attempt by Pakistan troops in the Poonch sector in Jammu and Kashmir.
According to reports, the infiltration bid was made from the Pakistan side of the border at Poonch sector around 5.30 am this morning, which was foiled by the vigilant BSF jawans.
The BSF troopers guarding the Ballad Border Post noticed some movement around in the wee hours and opened fire to challenge a group of people trying to infiltrate across the border into India.
\"Our troops opened fire to challenge them. The firing went on from 5.10 am to 5.35 am,\" the official said.
