Srinagar: In a major success for the security forces deployed at Karnah along the Line of Control (LoC) in North Kashmir's Kupwara district, a huge recovery of weapons has been made, the army said on Monday.

The recovery was made on Sunday evening. The army said 'on the night of March 28 in a specific intelligence based joint operation by the Indian army and Jammu and Kashmir Police, five AK Rifles and seven pistols with a host of magazines and ammunition were recovered.'

The operation was conducted in a very close proximity of the LoC in the Dhanni village which is under direct observation of the Pak Army posts in the Lipa Valley.
