The Indian Army's Chinar Corps has seized a number of weapons and ammunition from the Baramulla district in Jammu and Kashmir, according to officials who reported the recovery on Wednesday.

The Chinar Corps shared on social media that they have seized two AK series rifles, five magazines, one pistol, ten kilograms of RCIED (Remote Controlled Improvised Explosive Device), and other military supplies from the district. "Update: OP TIKKA, Baramulla: Two AK Series Rifles, five Magazines, one Pistol, ten Kgs of RCIED and other war-like stores have been recovered from the site. Identity of terrorists is being ascertained," Chinar Corps posted on X on Wednesday. Following the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, security forces launched operations across the Kashmir valley to eliminate terrorists. In Baramulla, intense gunfire erupted between the security forces and terrorists during a counter-infiltration operation that began on Tuesday night. On the night of April 22-23, security forces were tipped off about the movement of Pakistani terrorists in the Uri sector. 

The army tracked their movement near the Line of Control (LOC) and discovered they were approaching a launchpad near Uri Nallah. Around 3 a.m., the terrorists crossed the LOC, leading to a two-hour firefight. After intense exchanges, the security forces ambushed and neutralised two terrorists. They recovered two AK rifles, a 9mm Chinese pistol, magazines, and a significant amount of ammunition from the terrorists.

"Last night, we carried out a counter-infiltration operation. For the last few days, our security forces were continuously getting information about the movement of Pakistani terrorists in the Uri sector through our intelligence agencies... On the intervening night of 22 and 23 April, at around 1 am, the Indian army got to know about the presence of terrorists at a launchpad near the Uri nallah", Brigadier Shukla told reporters.

"Our surveillance, drones, and ambush parties were redeployed and resited. Terrorists' movement near the LOC was tracked, and when they crossed the LOC at around 3 am, we ambushed and neutralised two terrorists after a firing that went on for two hours. Our security forces carried out sanitisation and search operations in this dense forest. The Jammu and Kashmir police are trying to identify them. Their weapons were recovered - 2 AK rifles, one 9mm Chinese pistol, magazines and large quantities of ammunition. Additionally, one 10kg IED has also been recovered...", he added. 

On Tuesday, a terrible terrorist attack took place at Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, in which 26 tourists lost their lives. This tragic incident is one of the deadliest attacks in the Valley since the 2019 Pulwama attack, where 40 CRPF soldiers were killed. It is also one of the biggest terror strikes in the region since Article 370 was removed in 2019.
