Kupwara, Aug 4 (JKNS): In a major success against terrorism, security forces on Monday uncovered a hideout in Kalaroos area of north Kashmir’s Kupwara district, recovering arms and explosives during a joint search operation.
An official told news agency JKNS that the operation was carried out jointly by the Border Security Force (BSF), Army, and Jammu and Kashmir Police over three days, culminating in the discovery of a stony cave hideout on August 4.
The recoveries include 12 Chinese grenades, a Chinese pistol with ammunition, a Kenwood radio set, an Urdu IED manual, and fire sticks, he said.
Officials said the recovery has foiled a “major nefarious plan of terrorists” in the region. Security forces have intensified searches in the area to ensure no further threat remains.
Cognizance of the matter has been taken, and further investigation is underway. (JKNS)
