Security forces kill two terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir, foil infiltration bid

Taiwan's military vowed on Wednesday to step up counter-espionage efforts as authorities investigated several serving and former military officers suspected of spying for China.

China, which is pressing the island to accept its sovereignty, has in recent years mounted a sustained espionage campaign to undermine democratically governed Taiwan's military and civilian leadership, a Reuters investigation has found.

A lieutenant colonel surnamed Hsiao, based in the army's Aviation and Special Forces Command, had been detained on suspicion of leaking defence secrets to "foreign forces including China" and "developing organisations" in Taiwan, the official Central News Agency (CNA) reported.

Investigators searched the Command headquarters in the northern city of Taoyuan this week, the CNA reported, adding that four retired military officers as well as a "middleman" surnamed Hsiao were being investigated.

The defence ministry said in a statement that authorities had gathered "concrete evidence" of illegal activities.

"Facing infiltration by the Chinese Communist Party, the national forces will continue to boost counter-espionage education and raise awareness," the ministry said, adding it was saddened by the crime of "selling out the country and people".

Responding to a question about the reports at a press conference, Deputy Secretary-General to the Presidential Office Alex Huang said the incident was "shameless" and called for thorough investigations.

"Betraying your own fellow soldiers and country should be punished by law strictly," he said, adding that authorities had been working hard to prevent such incidents from happening again.

China's Taiwan Affairs Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

China, which views Taiwan as its own territory, has stepped up military and political pressure over recent years to try to force the island to accept its sovereignty, which the government in Taipei rejects.

In the past decade or so, at least 21 serving or retired Taiwanese officers with the rank of captain or above have been convicted of spying for China, according to a Reuters review of court records and reports from Taiwan's official news agencies.

Taiwan steps up counter-espionage action after Chinese infiltration in military, civil ranks

Two Pakistani terrorists were killed and another was injured on Tuesday night as Indian Army personnel foiled a major infiltration bid along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district, officials said.

They said Indian troops opened fire when they intercepted movement of a group of terrorists near the LoC in the Nowshera sector, they said.

They said there was a brief exchange of fire.

Subsequently a blast took place, probably after an intruder stepped on a landmine.

In the gunfight and blast, two terrorists were killed and another was injured, they said.

The bodies of the slain terrorists were yet to be recovered.

There is apprehension that their accomplices, who were pushed back, might have taken these with them from the spot.

"The entire area along the LoC has been cordoned off and searches are going on," a source said.

On June 1, Army personnel had foiled a similar infiltration bid and killed three heavily-armed intruders in the same area.

Two Pakistani terrorists killed as Army foils infiltration bid along LoC

Six militants were killed on Sunday after the Indian Army foiled an infiltration bid on the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Keran sector. 
 
Defence Ministry spokesman Colonel Rajesh Kalia said: "An infiltration bid from across the border was foiled in Keran sector of Kupwara district today. Six terrorists have been killed in so far in the ongoing operation."&nbsp;

The incident comes barely 4 days after three terrorists were killed in Machil sector of Kupwara. The infiltrators were eliminated after the Army noticed suspicious movement in Khanbal area along the Line of Control, Defence spokesman Col Rajesh Kalia had said.

The killing of terrorists infiltrating from Pakistan comes at a time when the Indian government has announced a unilateral ceasefire with the militants present on the Kashmiri soil. The unprecedented ceasefire was called in the wake of Ramzan.

"As far as terrorism is concerned, our stand is very clear. We have zero tolerance. But the ceasefire has been called so that the local populace is not faced with inconvenience in the month of Ramzan," said MoS, PMO, Jitendra Singh, adding that counter-terror operations targeting militants often lead to the evacuation of entire villages in order to minimise civilian casualties.

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, who visited the Valley earlier in the week, said the possibility of extending the ceasefire beyond Ramzan could not be ruled out if the situation improves.

Six terrorists killed in Jammu & Kashmir's Kupwara after army foils infiltration bid

An infiltration bid was thwarted by the forces in Jammu & Kashmir's Tangdhar sector early on Saturday. At least five terrorists were killed in the&nbsp;operation by the&nbsp;Indian Army along the Line of Control (LoC).

The fresh infiltration attempt comes a day after Indian Army chief Gen Bipin Rawat said Pakistan should "stop infiltration" if it aims to end turbulence at the border. The general also called for an end to unprovoked firing by the Pakistani forces.

"We want peace at borders but as you know&nbsp;Pakistan&nbsp;continuously violates ceasefire that causes loss of life and property and in such a case we have to retaliate but if&nbsp;Pakistan&nbsp;wants peace, we expect them to take initiative, which will start with them stopping infiltration," he said.

Earlier in the month, with the onset of Ramzan, the Centre announced the suspension of all operations targeting the militants in the Kashmir Valley.

The Union Home Ministry has said the decision has been taken to help the "peace-loving Muslims observe Ramzan in a peaceful environment".

However, it clarified that the security forces "reserve the right to retaliate if attacked or if essential to protect the lives of innocent people".
