JAMMU: Security forces late on Tuesday evening busted a terrorist hideout in Jammu & Kashmir’s Poonch district and recovered two pistols and ammunition from the spot.
“Based on a specific input about terrorists planning to target security forces on NH-144A, a well-coordinated joint operation was launched by local Rashtriya Rifles and J&K Police in the general area of Sauni forest in the Poonch district. Continuous on-ground searches led to the recovery of two pistols and ammunition,” Jammu-based defence spokesperson Lt Col Devender Anand said.
The Army and police had earlier recovered 19 grenades in the same region. On May 14, Border Security Force had recovered one AK-47, one pistol, one magazine, 15 rounds of 9 mm weapon, one wooden frame (used to attach the payload with a drone) and wrapping material dropped by Pakistan near the international border in Samba district.
