In response to the incident, reinforcements were swiftly deployed to the area, initiating a comprehensive search operation to ensure the security of the border region.
This incident echoes a similar confrontation in August 2023, when BSF troops intercepted and neutralised another intruder attempting to enter Indian territory near Simbal Sakol village in Punjab's Pathankot district.
Despite repeated warnings issued by the BSF, the intruder advanced towards the border fencing, prompting the security forces to take decisive action to protect the territorial integrity of the nation.
