“During the search, the joint team recovered four Chinese pistols, seven pistol magazines, three AK magazines, 308 rounds of AK 47 ammunition, and one sniper sight,” they said.
The recovery was made during a sustained search operation in the forest belt, which is considered a sensitive area due to its proximity to the Line of Control.
