Jammu, Oct 7 The BSF foiled a weapon smuggling attempt across the International Border in Jammu and Kashmir's Samba sector and seized a cache of arms and ammunition, officials said on Thursday.

"The BSF Jammu today foiled a weapon smuggling attempt from across the International Border in Samba area and seized a big cache of Arms and Ammunition," the Border Security Force (BSF) said.

The weapons recovered included four pistols, eight pistol magazines and 232 rounds.
