The Border Security Force (BSF) foiled a major infiltration attempt along the International Border in Jammu and Kashmir’s Samba district in the early hours of Friday, killing seven terrorists suspected to be affiliated with Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), sources told media.

The operation unfolded around 11 pm on May 8, when BSF troops detected suspicious movement near the Samba border.

The incident came amid rapidly escalating military tensions between India and Pakistan. Earlier on Thursday, India thwarted a Pakistani attempt to target multiple military installations in Jammu, Pathankot, Udhampur using missiles and drones, signalling a dangerous uptick in hostilities.

Pakistan's attack came a day after India carried out strikes under Operation Sindoor on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (POK) on May 7, killing around 100 terrorists. The strikes were in response to the Pahalgam terror attack where 26 people, mostly tourists, were killed by terrorists in a targetted religious massacre.
