"BSF's women personnel fought on forward duty posts during Operation Sindoor. Our brave women personnel, Assistant Commandant Neha Bhandari commanded a forward post, Constable Manjit Kaur, Constable Malkit Kaur, Constable Jyoti, Constable Sampa and Constable Swapna and others fought on forward posts against Pakistan during this operation," he said.
He also mentioned the inputs of terrorists' possible infiltration along the Line of Control and International Border.
"We are getting many inputs regarding terrorists returning to their launch pads & camps and possible infiltration along LoC & IB. Security Forces will have to remain alert," Shashank Anand said.
Further, BSF DIG RS Pura sector, Chiter Pal mentioned about its retaliation in the area after cross-border shelling from Pakistan.
"On 9th May, Pakistan targeted a number of our posts. First, they started targeting our posts with a flat trajectory weapon and mortar. They also targeted one of our villages Abdullian. Our BSF jawans gave a befitting reply to them. When they reduced firing, they increased drone activity. In response, BSF targeted and destroyed the Pakistterrorist launchpad Mastpur," Pal said.
"During the firing, it was observed that Pakistani soldiers were abandoning their posts and fleeing," he said further.

Westinghouse pursues US nuclear expansion after Trump orders, FT says
Nuclear equipment supplier Westinghouse is in talks with U.S. officials and industry partners about deploying 10 large reactors, in response to presidential executive orders, the Financial Times reported on Sunday, citing the company's CEO. President Donald Trump's executive orders, which were published on May 23, directed the government to cut down on regulations and fast-track licences for reactors and power plants to shrink a multi-year process to 18 months. Dan Sumner, Westinghouse interim chief executive, told the FT that the company was "uniquely positioned" to deliver the president's agenda because it had an approved reactor design, a viable supply chain and recent experience of building two of its AP1000 reactors in Georgia. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Most Expensive Cars In The World "There is active engagement with the administration, including key points of interface with the loan programmes office, recognising the importance of financing to the deployment of the model," he told the FT.

'Turn back': Israel orders military to block 'antisemite' Greta Thunberg-led aid boat from reaching Gaza
Climate activist Greta Thunberg stands near a Palestinian flag after boarding the Madleen boat and before setting sail for Gaza along with activists of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, departing from the Sicilian port of Catania, Italy, on June 1, 2025. (Pic credit: AP) As Greta Thunberg sails towards Gaza with other activists carrying aid for people in war-torn Gaza, Israel on Sunday vowed to prevent the boat from entering the territory. Defence minister Israel Katz said that it wouldn't allow the boat to break its naval blockade of the Palestinian territory. The naval blockade aimed to prevent Hamas from importing arms, he said. "I have instructed the military to prevent the Madleen flotilla from reaching Gaza," Israel Katz said in a statement. "To Greta the antisemite and her companions, Hamas propaganda mouthpieces, I say clearly: turn back because you will not reach Gaza." The vessel, Madleen, operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, set sail from Sicily last Sunday to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza and draw international attention to the worsening humanitarian crisis in the region. The group said they intended to reach Gaza's territorial waters by Sunday. Thunberg is among 12 activists onboard, along with Rima Hassan, a French member of the European Parliament of Palestinian descent. Hassan has previously been barred from entering Israel due to her vocal opposition to Israeli policies toward Palestinians. The aid mission comes at a time when humanitarian groups are sounding the alarm over looming famine in Gaza. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo After imposing a complete blockade on the enclave for over three months, Israel began allowing limited aid to enter last month. However, aid agencies say it falls far short of what's needed to address the crisis. This is not the first time the Freedom Flotilla Coalition has tried to reach Gaza by sea. A previous attempt in May ended in disaster after one of their vessels was struck by drones in international waters off Malta. The group blamed Israel for the attack, which damaged the ship's front section. Despite the risks, the activists aboard Madleen say they are determined to complete their mission.
