The operation continued throughout the night and the detailed search of the area was carried during early morning. ldentity of the terrorists and their tanzeem affiliation is being ascertained. Meanwhile, five AK series rifles, fourteen grenades, five hundred AK rounds, night vision googles and other huge quantity of war like stores were recovered.

This successful intelligence-based operation is yet another example of close synergy between Indian Army and JKP. The operation clearly establishes the evil design of terrorist groups which are determined to disrupt peace in Kashmir.
