Jammu: Seven JeM infiltrators killed by BSF in Samba sector

Seven infiltrators, believed to be associated with the banned terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), were neutralized by the border security force (BSF) last night while trying to cross into India via the Samba area in Jammu, the force stated. Throughout the operation, the BSF caused significant destruction to a Pakistan Rangers border post, which had been providing heavy fire support for the infiltrators.

“In Samba sector of Jammu Frontier BSF, in the intervening night of 8th and 9th of May 2025, an infiltration attempt by a big group of terrorists has been tried, which was detected by surveillance grid. This infiltration bid was supported by fire from Pak Rangers post Dhandhar. Alert troops of BSF, neutralised the infiltration bid, killing at least 7 terrorists and caused extensive damage to the Pak Post Dhandhar,” a BSF spokesperson said.

In the course of Operation Sindoor, the Indian military carried out strikes on JeM training facilities and hiding places in Pakistan. The calculated and targeted assaults on the terror camps were a reaction to the terrorist incident in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which resulted in the deaths of 25 tourists and one local pony guide.

The attempt to infiltrate by JeM terrorists, aided by Pakistan Rangers on Thursday night, matched with attempted attacks at various sites in Jammu, Pathankot, and Jaisalmer by Pakistan.

“Pakistan Armed Forces launched multiple attacks using drones and other munitions along entire Western Border on the intervening night of 08 and 09 May 2025. Pak troops also resorted to numerous cease fire violations (CFVs) along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. The drone attacks were effectively repulsed, and befitting reply was given to the CFVs. Indian Army remains committed to safeguarding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Nation. All nefarious designs will be responded with force,” a statement issued by the Indian Army said.
