This is the second major recovery of explosives in Jammu region in as many days.
Security forces on Sunday unearthed a terrorist hideout in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir, leading to the recovery of 19 hand grenades and scuttling of a terrorist plan to disturb peace in the border district by carrying out grenade attacks, a defence spokesman said. No one was arrested during the operation which was jointly carried out by the Army and police in Phagla area of Surankote, the spokesman said. Based on a specific input that terrorists were planning to target security forces on NH 144A (Jammu-Poonch highway), a well coordinated joint operation was launched by the Rashtriya Rifles and police in Phagla area. "The relentless development of intelligence by both the agencies led to discovery of a huge cache of grenades, hidden in a well concealed natural (cave) hideout. A total of 19 hand grenades have been found," the spokesman said.More Related News
