During a search operation on Sunday in Dara Sangla in the Surankote region of Poonch district in Jammu and Kashmir, security personnel recovered seven IEDs and a wireless set, said officials.
"Seven IEDs and a wireless set were recovered during a search operation by joint security forces at Dara Sangla, in the Surankote area of Poonch district in the Jammu region," officials said.
A search operation in the region is now ongoing.
They claimed the hideout, which was concealed within a cave, was discovered during a joint police-army search operation at Dara Sangla in Surankote.
Blankets and other supplies were also recovered in the hideout, police added.
A case has been filed, and further investigation is underway, they said, noting that no arrests have been made thus far.
The police said early investigations reveal that the hideout was utilised by terrorists active in the region two decades ago.
Earlier on Saturday, the Sopore police recovered one pistol, two pistol magazines, 18 live pistol rounds, and one pistol pouch during a cordon and search operation in the Logripora region of Jammu and Kashmir's Sopore district, said police.
During the operation, “one terrorist hideout was uncovered, and guns and ammunition were recovered,” said officials.
The police official said terrorists utilised this hideout as a secure spot to store weaponry and ammunition to cause terrorist-instigated violence and disrupt the valley's peace.
In the wake of the recent attacks in Rajouri and Poonch, security forces have intensified their efforts.
They have conducted pre-emptive cordon and search operations, which have yielded some level of success in recent months.
