Mendhar/Jammu, February 25
Army troops on Wednesday uncovered a terrorist hideout in a forward village in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district and recovered a cache of arms including two ready-to-use Improvised Explosive Devices and a pistol, officials said.
The recovery was made during a cordon and search operation at Salani Kasblari village in the Mendhar sector. The items, which included two grenades and 24 pistol rounds, were found hidden inside a cave.
According to the officials, the larger IED weighed approximately 4.5 kg, while the second was smaller. Both explosive devices and the grenades were later destroyed through a controlled explosion. No damage was reported during the disposal.
The timely recovery of the consignment has thwarted a planned terror attack in the border district, the officials added.
