Fresh tension flared along the Line of Control (LoC) late Monday night, with firing and explosions reported from two locations in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kupwara district — Machil and Dudniyal sectors — in what sources described as a possible infiltration attempt.

According to sources, troops detected suspicious movement near the Machil LoC, prompting an immediate response. “The army challenged the suspected infiltrators, leading to an exchange of fire,” sources said.

“In the Kupwara sector of Jammu and Kashmir, Indian Army troops witnessed some suspicious movement along the Line of Control and fired towards it in the evening, around 7 PM. Operations are continuing in the area. More details awaited,” Indian Army officials said in a statement quoted by ANI.

Meanwhile, in another incident, several blasts were reported in Dudniyal sector, raising concerns of coordinated infiltration efforts. “Flares were fired to illuminate the area and check for any movement across the border,” a source added.

The incidents come amid heightened alert along the LoC following recent ceasefire violations and reports of increased militant activity across the border.

No immediate reports of casualties were available. Security agencies are on high alert.
