Srinagar, July 19: A huge cache of arms and ammunition, including an Austrian-made bullpup assault rifle, was recovered from the slain terrorists in J&K’s Keran sector. The Army said on Friday, “A huge cache of arms and ammunition, including a Steyr AUG (an Austrian-made bullpup assault rifle), AK series rifle, five grenades, and other materials, was recovered from two killed foreign terrorists in the Keran Sector of Kupwara district yesterday”.
