Indian Army repelled a BAT attack near LoC in Uri, killing one soldier. Attackers, linked to Asim Munir, fled in bad weather after fierce retaliation.
In the first major provocation by Pakistan after Operation Sindoor, the Indian Army foiled a Border Action Team (BAT) attack near Tikka Post along the Line of Control in Uri on the intervening night of August 12-13. The BAT team, comprising Pakistani soldiers and terrorists, attempted to infiltrate but faced fierce retaliation from Indian troops. One soldier, Havaldar Ankit, was martyred in the exchange. Adverse weather conditions enabled the attackers to escape back across the LoC. The strike is believed to have been planned under Pakistan Army chief Asim Munir’s direction.
