After the patrol covered approximately 4 miles it was fired upon by Pakistani infiltrators of much larger strength. In the encounter some infiltrators were killed others ran away leaving some of their arms and ammunition.
Thus the infiltrators failed in their mission of blowing up Kalai Bridge on Rajauri- Poonch road.
