In a major breakthrough, security forces busted a terror hideout in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch and recovered explosives on Monday. The development comes amid heightened security in the Union territory in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack.
According to Jammu and Kashmir police, in a joint security operation with the Army and SOG in Poonch, security forces busted a terror hideout in Hari Marote village in the Surankot sector of the district. The security personnel reportedly recovered wireless headsets, IEDs, clothes and tiffin boxes from the hideout.
The major breakthrough comes as security forces are maintaining high vigil in the Union territory in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack. As many as 26 persons including 24 tourists, a Nepali citizen and a local horse rider were killed in the attack on April 22, the worst since the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir.
