US EditionIndia-Pakistan attacks: 7 terrorists shot dead in J&K’s Samba as BSF foils infiltration bid
- On May 8, 2025, the Border Security Force in Jammu and Kashmir's Samba district foiled a major infiltration attempt by a large group of militants supported by Pakistan Rangers firing from across the border.
- The infiltration attempt followed heightened tensions marked by Pakistan’s missile and drone attacks on Indian military installations on May 7, connected to India’s retaliatory Operation Sindoor launched after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.
- Indian forces successfully intercepted multiple missiles and drones aimed at military sites and civilian locations across cities in the northern and western regions, while the Border Security Force thwarted militant infiltration attempts in the dense and difficult terrain of the Samba sector.
- The BSF successfully eliminated at least seven militants during an infiltration attempt and inflicted significant damage on the Pakistan Rangers’ Dhandhar position, while the Indian Ministry of Defence reported no casualties and highlighted a deliberate and restrained military response.
- These events illustrate ongoing high tensions and indicate India’s intent to respond precisely and non-escalatorily to cross-border threats, while Pakistan condemned India’s strikes as sovereignty violations causing civilian casualties.
