In a crucial operation, security forces successfully intercepted a consignment of arms, ammunition, and explosives, including an Improvised Explosive Device (IED), dropped by a quadcopter. The incident unfolded amidst an ongoing encounter between security forces and terrorists in the Baaji Maal area of the Kalakote sub-division in Rajouri district.

The recovered arsenal, including a Turkey-made pistol with two magazines, thirty-eight bullets, nine grenades, and a battery-operated IED, underscores the persistent threat of terrorism. Dropped from across the Line of Control, these items aimed to reignite unrest in the Rajouri and Akhnoor sectors of Jammu and Kashmir.

Authorities have launched a comprehensive investigation, with a case registered under relevant sections of the law at Police Station Khour. This discovery reinforces the imperative for sustained vigilance and collaborative efforts to uphold peace and security in the region.
