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

“At around 2300 hours on 8 May 2025, BSF foiled a major infiltration bid at the International Boundary in Samba district, J&K,” the BSF confirmed in a post on X. 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.
