Security forces in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district recovered multiple suspected improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and ammunition from a cave hideout in the Kasbalari area of Mendhar. The operation, based on intelligence inputs, uncovered six to seven tape-insulated containers suspected as IEDs, along with magazines, bags, power adapters, and a tiffin box possibly intended for IED fabrication. Authorities suspect local support networks may assist militants in stocking supplies in forested areas near the Line of Control. Investigations are ongoing.
