A defence official said the Army personnel noticed some movement. It was a group of four militants near LoC in Balnoie forward belt in Poonch district during the wee hours on Sunday. The security forces asked the militants to surrender but they opened fire. In the exchange of fire, a militant was killed and another got injured. Two infiltrators escaped back to PoK.Taking advantage of the darkness, the militants were able to drag the body of the slain ultra to Pakistani side.
