The Indian Army and the Jammu and Kashmir police conducted a joint operation in Kupwara earlier this year that resulted in the recovery of an extensive supply of weapons, ammunition, and war-related equipment. Chinar Corps reported that 'Operation Kot Nala' was the means of recovery.

"Based on specific input, a Joint Search Operation was launched by the Indian Army and Jammu and Kashmir Police in the dense forest area of Awra, Kupwara, today. During the search, a terrorist hideout was busted, and a large cache of arms, ammunition, equipment and other war-like stores have been recovered," Chinar Corps posted on X.

In Kulgam, the Indian Army carried out "Operation Redwani Payeen" on May 6, eliminating three terrorists.

In a post on X, Chinar Corps said, "A joint operation that commenced on the intervening night of May 6-7 in the general area of Redwani Payeen, Kulgam, has been concluded after a relentless vigil of approximately 40 hours. 4 terrorists have been eliminated along with the recovery of war-like stores, inflicting yet another hit on the terror ecosystem."
