Terror launch pads along LoC are full says Army commander

Jammu: Major General Virendra Vats GOC 19 Infantry Division on Saturday said that terror launch pads across the LoC are full and over 250 terrorists are waiting to infiltrate in the Naugam sector of Baramulla in Jammu and Kashmir.

“Inputs indicate that their launch pads are fully occupied. If we have to guess, it could be anything between 250-300 terrorists presently occupying the launch pads.”

His remarks came shortly after army jawans eliminated two terrorists during an infiltration bid and seized two AK-47 rifles, a pistol and ammunition.

The general said it launched its operation after detecting suspicious movement along the LoC.

“Today, our troops along the LoC Naugam sector detected suspicious movement originating from Pakistani post in the area. Apt response was taken to eliminate two terrorists who were trying to infiltrate by cutting an anti-infiltration fence,” General Vats said.
