The subsequent firing lead to the neutralization of two terrorists who were trying to cross the Indian frontier.
Preliminary sources stated that substantial amount of war like stores were retrieved from the scene of the operation. These consisted of advanced equipment such as different types of sophisticated weapons, ammunitions and other military like equipment which would further suggest that the infiltrators had prior intelligence and a probable mission of undertaking more major acts of aggression within the territory of India. The recovery of these items proves the severe nature of the threat that can be expected from such infiltration attempts and proves the continuous attempts of Pakistan based militant groups in disrupting the stability in the region.
