Mon Sep 01 05:39:09 UTC 2025: ## Indian Army Thwarts Infiltration Attempt Along LoC in Poonch
**Mendhar/Jammu, September 1, 2025, 11:09 am IST** – Indian Army troops successfully foiled an infiltration attempt by terrorists along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Mendhar Sector of Poonch district earlier today. The incident occurred in the general area of Balakot around 5:30 am, prompting immediate action by alert troops of the White Knight Corps.
According to officials, suspicious movement was detected near the LoC, leading to an immediate exchange of fire that prevented the attempted crossing. The incident coincided with Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s visit to Jammu to assess the region following devastating floods.
“Own troops have been repositioned and re-oriented to ensure foolproof domination of the area using all available means,” the White Knight Corps stated in a post on X, emphasizing the high alert status maintained by troops in their respective areas.
A renewed exchange of fire erupted as army search parties approached the location of the initial encounter. Officials reported that the movement of terrorists attempting to infiltrate from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir was detected near Dabbi village of Balakot. Faced with heavy firing, the terrorists attempted to retreat, prompting reinforcements to be dispatched and the area to be cordoned off for a thorough search operation.
The situation remains tense as search operations continue. Further updates will be provided as they become available.
