Five armed intruders have been killed in Uri sector so far and one intruder had been killed in Gurez sector close to the LoC."Explosives, inflammable material and arms and ammunition recovered from the intruders indicate Pakistan's designs to orchestrate high-profile terror incidents targeting innocent civilian population and security forces during the holy month of Ramadan," the statement said.
