An unidentified terrorist was killed close to the Line of Control (LoC) in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district on Sunday (March 15, 2026).

The Army said there was “a specific intelligence input passed on by the J&K Police regarding an infiltration attempt” following which a joint operation was launched on the intervening night of March 14-15 in Buchhar, Uri Sector.

“The alert troops spotted suspicious movement of a terrorist in the thicket. The ambush was readjusted and the terrorist was challenged resulting in the terrorist opening indiscriminate fire. In the contact, a Pakistan terrorist was eliminated. Warlike stores including an AK rifle, pistols and large quantities of ammunition have been recovered,” the Army said.
