New Delhi : After foiling an infiltration bid along the Line of Control (LoC) in Uri Sector, the Army on Friday recovered two bodies along with weapons including one AK 47 rifles and one pistol.  Earlier in the day, the jawans gunned down two Border Action Team (BAT) terrorists.

 Massive exchange of gunfire is underway as counter operations continue in the Uri Sector.

On May 1, Pakistan’s BAT mutilated the bodies of two Indian soldiers in Krishna Ghati Sector along the LoC, where they had beheaded Lance Naik Hemraj in 2013.

“Pak Army carried out unprovoked rocket and mortar firing on two forward posts on the Line of Control in the Krishna Ghati sector. Simultaneously, a BAT action was launched on a patrol operating in between the two posts. In an unsoldierly act by the Pakistan Army, the bodies of two of our soldiers in the patrol were mutilated. Such despicable act of Pakistan Army will be appropriately responded,” read the Army’s statement.          –ANI
