A reconnaissance of the general area where the infiltration was attempted was done with the help of a quadcopter and two bodies were sighted, a defence spokesman said.
According to officials, a group of suspected militants tried to sneak into Pukharni village of the Laam area in Nowshera from across the border under the cover of darkness.
One of them stepped over a landmine causing an explosion around 10 pm on Monday, they said.
The latest infiltration bid came close on the heels of the arrest of a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) guide in an injured condition on Sunday.
Tabarak Hussain (32), a resident of Sabzkot village of Kotli in Pakistan-administered Kashmir (PaK), was arrested for the second time in the past six years while trying to infiltrate into this side from across the border.
He also worked for an intelligence unit of the Pakistani army, the officials said. —PTI
