The Army is likely to hold a press briefing on the Keran incursion along the Lind of Control at 12:30 pm.

At another press briefing yesterday, the Army said a huge cache of arms and ammunition was recovered from the Keran sector, even as the operation against militants holed up there entered the 14th day.

"We conducted search operations in the sector and recovered war-like stores of arms and ammunition," Officiating Brigadier General Staff (BGS) Col Sanjay Mitra told reporters.

He said the recoveries include seven AK 47 rifles, four pistols, one sniper rifle, 20 UBGL grenades, two radio-sets and other war-like stores. Some medicines and food items were also recovered, he said.

Army had on Sunday recovered six AK rifles, 10 pistols, five radio-sets and other items after the search operations in the sector, Col Mitra said. "The level of preparedness by the terrorists prior to these attempts and their designs are amply clear with recoveries," he said.
