According to several reports, Army killed at least 10 terrorists who were trying to cross over into Kashmir's Uri, where 18 soldiers were martyred in a terror attack two days back.

Security forces are expected to continue counter operations overnight in both places, which are about 100 km apart in Kashmir.

Highlights:

# Indian Army on Tuesday killed 10-12 terrorists while foiling the infiltration bid across LoC.

# Apparently, a cover fire was also done from Pakistan's side to ensure these militants enter Indian side safely.

# They were trying to make a pass from the same place Uri, where 18 soldiers were martyred two days back.
