The discovery was made during a search operation based on a tip-off, which led to the recovery of a suspected terrorist’s bag. According to Army officials, the recovered items included AK-47 and pistol rounds of Pakistani origin, sophisticated explosives such as Remote Controlled Improvised Explosive Devices (RCIEDs), Timed Destruction IEDs, Stove IEDs, and Chinese grenades.

“All recovered items were found in functional and ready-to-use condition,” the Army stated.
