An Army jawan has been killed in a Pak sniper attack in Balakote, J&K. The martyred jawan belonged to the Gorkha regiment. Meanwhile, the three BSF men injured during an encounter with Jaish terrorists at a BSF camp near Srinagar airport, are out of danger.


Security forces foiled an attempt by the Jaish-e-Mohammed to storm a BSF camp near the high- security Srinagar airport today, killing all three militants in an operation that also claimed the life of an assistant sub-inspector of the force, police said.


State Director General of Police S P Vaid said the three terrorists who had sneaked into the BSF camp had been "neutralised". "We are carrying out search operations inside the premises to rule out the possibility of planting of explosives," he said.
