Poonch, July 10 (JKNS): Security forces on Thursday recovered a large cache of arms, ammunition and explosives during a massive cordon and search operation (CASO) in the Khanetar Top area of Poonch district sources said.
Sources told news agency JKNS that the operation was launched based on specific intelligence inputs about the possible presence of a terror consignment in the area.
“During the search, the joint team recovered two pistols along with two magazines, 24 rounds of 9mm ammunition, one Under Barrel Grenade Launcher (UBGL), six hand grenades, two Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), and an electronic set,” they said.
Sources said that the seizure appears to be part of a larger network of weapons smuggling aimed at reviving Terrorism in the region. “The recovery of IEDs and an electronic device suggests the possibility of planned attacks,” they said. (JKNS)
