Deploying specialized teams, niche technology equipment and tracker dogs, Assam Rifles recovered six weapons, including three rifles — two of which were of AK-series — one Lathode (a type of grenade launcher), one Under Barrel Grenade Launcher (UBGL), and one locally made 7.62mm rifle. A large quantity of ammunition was also seized.
"The operation was conducted based on credible intelligence inputs, and our teams executed it with precision. This seizure is a significant blow to militant groups operating in the region," a senior AR official said.
Security analysts suggest that the recovered arms were most likely intended for various militant groups known to operate in the northeast, who often utilize AK-series rifles, UBGLs, and other similar weaponry.
