The Border Security Force (BSF) foiled a major infiltration attempt along the international border in the Samba district of Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday.
The attempt was made around 11 p.m. on May 8.
In a post on X, BSF Jammu said: “At around 2300 hours on 8 May 2025, BSF foiled a major infiltration bid at the International Boundary in Samba district, J&K.”
According to the Headquarters Integrated Defence Staff (HQ IDS), Pakistan also attempted to target military stations in Jammu, Pathankot, and Udhampur — all located near the International Border. The Indian Armed Forces responded strongly, and no loss of life was reported.
In a post on X, the HQ IDS said: “Military stations of Jammu, Pathankot and Udhampur, in proximity to the International Boundary in Jammu and Kashmir, were targeted by Pakistan using missiles and drones. No losses. Threat neutralised by Indian Armed Forces as per SoP with kinetic and non-kinetic means.”
These developments come after India launched “Operation Sindoor” on May 7. During the operation, the Indian Armed Forces carried out missile strikes on nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK).
According to officials, the strikes targeted infrastructure linked to terror groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed. The operation was conducted in retaliation for the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which killed 28 civilians.
