India-Pakistan News: The Border Security Force (BSF) foiled a major infiltration attempt on late Thursday night, killing 7 Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists, as per a report by the Jagran.com. The infiltration attempt came parallel to the drone attacks carried out by Pakistan in Jammu and Kashmir. The infiltration attempt was made at the International Border in the Samba district.

In a post on X, BSF Jammu said, "At around 2300 hours on 8 May 2025, BSF foiled a major infiltration bid at the International Boundary in Samba district, J&K."

As per the information, the alert BSF jawans killed 7 terrorists of Jaish-e-Mohammed. Sources have claimed that this was not just an infiltration attempt, it could be a nefarious act of the Pakistan Army's Border Action Team (BAT). On the other hand, BSF has increased patrolling in the areas adjoining the border.

Meanwhile, the Jammu and Kashmir government enforced a complete blackout early on Friday morning along the LoC in Poonch and Rajouri districts. This comes after Pakistan launched a drone attack in Jammu and Kashmir on May 8.
