Srinagar: A major terror incident was averted in Kashmir on Friday after security forces detected and destroyed an improvised explosive device (IED) on the Baramulla-Handwara road in north Kashmir.
Indian Army’s Chinar Corps said the police and army recovered the IED and subsequently destroyed it.
“Chinar Warriors and J&K Police averted a major terror incident today by recovering and in-situ destroying an IED on Langate – Watergam Road,” the Indian Army said in a post on social media platform X.

A road-opening party of security forces, which scans highways for hidden explosives, got suspicious on seeing the cylinders. The small cylinders were hidden, using bushes, near a crossing.
Traffic was immediately stopped and alarm raised by the security personnel.
Police and Army rushed security reinforcements to the site.
