"Lance Naik Yogesh Muralidhar Bhadane was a brave and sincere soldier. The nation will always remain indebted to him for the supreme sacrifice and devotion to duty," a defence spokesperson said.

A week ago a BSF head constable was killed after Pakistani forces sniped from across the International Border in Samba district. In retaliation, the BSF destroyed two Pakistani mortar positions. It also foiled an infiltration bid by gunning down a Pakistani intruder along the border near Nikowal border outpost in Arnia sector.
