In a major counter-terrorism operation under Operation Nagni TOP, the Indian Army, along with the Jammu and Kashmir Police and BSF Kashmir, busted a terrorist hideout in the Kalaroos area of Kupwara district, recovering a significant cache of arms and ammunition.
The three-day joint search operation was launched following specific intelligence inputs. During the search, security forces recovered one pistol, two magazines, twelve grenades, ammunition, and other war-like stores, the Chinar Corps said in a post on X.
The operation comes amid heightened security measures in Jammu and Kashmir on the anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370.
In a separate recent incident, a joint team of the Indian Army, J&K Police, CRPF, and the Special Operations Group neutralised one terrorist in the Akhal Devsar area of Kulgam. The encounter began late Friday after credible inputs indicated terrorist presence, leading to an intense overnight gunfight.
