Jammu Kashmir: Indian Army recovers grenades, Pak-made mines from terror hideout
Srinagar: The Indian Army's Romeo Force, in coordination with the Special Operations Group (SOG) police, dismantled a suspected Pakistani terror hideout in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch area on Saturday, media reports said.
The operation led to the recovery of two grenades and three Pakistani-made mines, underscoring ongoing security concerns in the region, according to PTI.
After the recovery, security forces have intensified search operations in Tangmarg and other key areas across Jammu and Kashmir.
The Indian Army’s operations aim to track suspects involved in recent terror incidents in Gulmarg, Baramulla, and Gagangir in Ganderbal district.
The urgency of these operations follows two recent attacks.
On October 24, terrorists ambushed a military vehicle, resulting in the deaths of two Army soldiers and two civilian porters.
Another attack on October 20 killed a doctor and six construction workers at a tunnel site on the Srinagar-Leh highway, heightening concerns over targeted assaults.
In reaction to the escalated threats, Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has ordered enhanced security measures around critical infrastructure projects and military camps.
The LG mandated a thorough security audit and the establishment of continuous patrols and checkpoints in vulnerable locations.
Meanwhile, in a separate operation, the Counter-Intelligence Kashmir (CIK) carried out extensive raids across six districts, including Srinagar, Ganderbal, Pulwama, Anantnag, Budgam, and Kulgam, and apprehended several recruiters linked to the newly formed terror outfit “Tehreek Labaik Ya Muslim” (TLM).
The organization, reportedly an offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), was operated by a Pakistani handler identified as Baba Hamas, according to officials.
