Security forces in south Kashmir have successfully averted a potential major terror incident with the recovery and subsequent destruction of an improvised explosive device (IED) in Shopian district.
The Chenab Times has learned that the operation was a joint effort between the Chinar Corps of the Indian Army and the Jammu and Kashmir Police. It took place near Chitragam village in the Zainapora area of Shopian.
Officials reported that the recovered IED was substantial, weighing approximately 14.5 kilograms. It was found to be packed with high explosives and was equipped with a remote-controlled triggering mechanism, indicating a sophisticated attempt to cause significant harm.
