Security forces today foiled a major attempt by Pakistan to push sophisticated arms and ammunition into India in the biggest seizure this year from the border in the Uri sector of Jammu and Kashmir.
In an operation jointly carried out by the army and the police, advanced weapons like AK 74u, which is a short carbine variant of the AK 74 rifle were recovered. The raid was carried after security forces received information that Pakistani handlers were trying to push terrorists into the Valley.
Eight AK rifles and 12 pistols were seized, besides other arms and ammunition, police said.
Police said weapons were seized at Hathlanga village this morning. However, no arrests have been made so far.
Sources said security forces had specific information about massive arms smuggling linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba.
