Army jawan killed in suspected BAT attack by Pakistan along LoC in Uri
Sources said there was heavy exchange of gunfire between the BAT team and the army jawans. In the cover of darkness and bad weather, the BAT team is reported to have escaped back, reportedly.
A massive search operation has been launched by the army in the area, covered by dense forest.
The drones and army helicopters have been pressed into service and the operation was going on when reports last poured in, sources said.
It is the first major BAT attack by the Pakistani troops after the May 7 Operation Sindoor launched by the army to attack and destroy militant infrastructure within Pakistan and PoK to avenge the April 22 Pahalgam team.

Martyr's family awaits support
Narbatpur (Buxar): The lane to Havildar Sunil Singh Yadav's home in Narbatpur village now bears his name, but the house stands in silence. The 46-year-old soldier of the Army's EME unit died on June 6 from injuries sustained in a drone attack during Operation Sindoor in Jammu and Kashmir. He fought for 27 days at Udhampur Army Hospital after being critically wounded on May 9. His father, Janardan Singh, said, "I will salute the Tricolour this Independence Day and imagine I am saluting my martyred son." The family has sought a gas agency in Sunil's name, a govt job, a martyr's gate and a statue. "The DM assured us, but nothing has started," Janardan said. His mother, Pavadharo Devi, recalled his caring nature while his younger brother Anil said it still feels like Sunil is "just on duty". Sunil joined the Army in 2002 and was promoted to Havildar in 2023. His wife now lives in Lucknow with their children, determined to fulfil his dream of making them officers.

Anti-Terror Body Carries Out Raids In Case Linked To Lashkar Proxy Behind Pahalgam Terror Attack
Srinagar: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday conducted raids in Jammu and Kashmir's Srinagar and Handwara districts in connection with a terror funding case. The case is linked to the banned terror group The Resistance Front (TRF), which is linked to the terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). The TRF's terrorists had killed 26 tourists in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam in April in one of the deadliest terror attacks in recent times. Two suspects were earlier arrested in the same case. In May 2025, the NIA took over the investigation from the state police. The raids were carried out at the houses of the arrested accused, where documents linked to the case were recovered. During the investigation, the NIA uncovered a foreign funding connection, which is currently under detailed scrutiny. It also came to light that the terrorist groups have been inciting young people in the state to engage in anti-national activities and providing them financial support. The NIA said the investigation is continuing. Earlier this month, counter-terror operations by the security forces led to the killing of over two dozen terrorists in separate encounters across Jammu and Kashmir. The operations, carried out jointly by the Indian Army, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Border Security Force (BSF), and Jammu and Kashmir Police, targeted both foreign and local terrorists. Many of the terrorists were Pakistani nationals, while nine were local recruits. According to intelligence sources, the overall number of active local terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir dropped following these operations.
