Three boxes of arms and ammunition dropped by a drone on Wednesday night were recovered from Treva village of R.S. Pura’s Arnia sector in Jammu, police said on Thursday. The police said there was an input regarding a drone activity and dropping of arms and ammunition by Pakistan-based militant outfits Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and The Resistance Front (TRF) at the behest of Pakistan’s ISI in R.S. Pura’s Arnia area. During a search operation, the police’s Special Operations Group (SOG) recovered the arms, ammunition and explosives. They included three detonators, three remote controlled improvised explosive devices (IEDs), three bottle explosives, one bundle cordtex wire, two timer IEDs, one pistol, two magazines, six grenades and 70 rounds, the police said.
“With the recovery, a major militant plot has been averted,” the police said.
