During the operation, security forces successfully unearthed a concealed hideout and recovered a substantial quantity of war-like stores including 14 Soviet-made OG-7V fragmentation rounds meant for RPGs, recovered in plastic packaging and 09 PG-7P propellant charges/ boosters contained in green plastic tubes.
The recovery has thwarted a potential threat and represents a significant achievement in North Kashmir's ongoing anti-terror operations.
The operation in the area continued for nearly six hours to ensure complete sanitization and eliminate any potential threat.
Subsequently, the recovered explosive materials was thoroughly examined by the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) of J&K Police and was safely destroyed in-situ in accordance with established safety protocols, the release stated.
