7 Jaish terrorists killed while trying to infiltrate Jammu’s Samba

The Border Security Force (BSF) foiled a major infiltration attempt along the International Border in Jammu and Kashmir’s Samba district killing seven terrorists suspected to be affiliated with Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), sources told India Today TV.
The operation unfolded around 11 pm on May 8, when BSF troops detected suspicious movement near the Samba border. “At around 2300 hours on 8 May 2025, BSF foiled a major infiltration bid at the International Boundary in Samba district, J&K,” the BSF confirmed in a post on X.
A video showed BSF troops causing extensive damage to Pakistani post Dhandhar while killing at least seven terrorists to foil a major infiltration bid. The incident came amid rapidly escalating military tensions between India and Pakistan. Earlier on Thursday, India thwarted a Pakistani attempt to target multiple military installations in Jammu, Pathankot, Udhampur using missiles and drones, signalling a dangerous uptick in hostilities. Pakistan’s attack came a day after India carried out strikes under Operation Sindoor on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (POK) on May 7, killing around 100 terrorists.
Senior govt official, toddler among 5 killed in Pakistani shelling across Jammu region
Five persons, including a senior J&K government official and a two-year-old girl, were killed as intense mortar shelling and drone strikes by Pakistan hit Jammu region early Saturday, May 10, officials said.
Residents of Jammu city and other major towns of the division woke up to air raid sirens and deafening sounds of explosions around 5 am, while the border residents spent a sleepless night in the wake of intense shelling from across the border.
“Pakistan’s blatant attempt to violate India’s sovereignty and endanger civilians is unacceptable. Indian Army will thwart all enemy designs,” they said. Raj Kumar Thapa, Additional District Development Commissioner, Rajouri, and his two staff members were seriously injured when an artillery shell hit his official residence in Rajouri town, the officials said.
They were rushed to the Government Medical College where Thapa succumbed to his injuries, they said.
Condoling Thapa’s death, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said in a post on X, “Devastating news from Rajouri. We have lost a dedicated officer of the J-K Administration Services.”
