Security forces have busted an abandoned terrorist hideout in Handwara, a town in north Kashmir, during an ongoing counter-insurgency operation. The facility appeared to have been inactive for some time but was being utilized as a storage depot for arms and explosives intended for militant groups operating in the area.
Police teams recovered a significant cache of weapons and ammunition from the site, according to officials overseeing the operation. The discovery provides insight into the supply networks used by terrorist organizations in the Kashmir Valley to equip their operatives.
Handwara, located in Kupwara district, has been a focal point of counter-insurgency efforts in recent years. The region has witnessed intermittent militant activity, and security forces have intensified operations to dismantle terror infrastructure and disrupt weapons supplies.
The recovery of the arms cache represents a setback for militant groups seeking to sustain armed operations in the region. Authorities continue to conduct intelligence-led operations to identify and neutralize terror hideouts and supply lines across Kashmir.
