In a major provocation from Pakistan after Operation Sindoor, a soldier was killed in action near the Line of Control after terrorists backed by the Pakistan Army intruded into Jammu and Kashmir's Uri sector, official sources said. 

According to sources in the Army, infiltrators tried to enter India late on August 12. This was different from a routine infiltration attempt, as the intruders received firing support from the Pakistan Army. Such an infiltration attempt is typically carried out with the support of Pakistan's Border Action Teams, the dirty tricks department of the Pakistan Army.
