"Displaying precision in coordination, the detailed search led to the recovery of a terrorist cache concealed beneath a natural cave. One big IED (4.5kg), one small IED of 800 grams, two Chinese grenades, one 9 mm pistol, two 9 mm rounds, and twenty-two 7.62 mm rounds were recovered from the site. The IEDs and grenades were destroyed in situ by the Bomb Disposal Team, ensuring the safety of civilians and troops," the post read.
Explosives Neutralised On-Site
The Bomb Disposal Team destroyed the explosives and grenades in situ, ensuring the safety of both civilians and troops.
Sustained Anti-Terror Efforts
White Knight Corps further said that the hunt is still underway. The Indian Army and SOG Poonch have been conducting regular anti-terror operations in the border district to neutralise terrorist threats and prevent infiltration attempts.
Poonch district, located along the Line of Control, has been a sensitive area with security forces maintaining high alert to counter terrorism and infiltration attempts from across the border.
Earlier on February 22, the Indian Army said that six terrorists were eliminated in the last 20 days in counter-terror operations across the Jammu region, dealing a significant blow to the terror infrastructure in Jammu and Kashmir. (ANI)
