A defence spokesman said that Assam Rifles launched a deliberate and well-coordinated search operation on Friday at Saikhumpai areas in bordering Champhai District.
The operation was conducted with complete surprise and involved a sustained search through dense forested terrain. During the search, troops unearthed a concealed cache containing six 60mm Mortar Tubes with Base plates, two 7.62mm Myanmar-made Assault Rifles, three shotguns, two point 22 Rifles, and one Hand Grenade.
During the intensive search, the troops also recovered 45 live rounds of 7.62mm, 15 rounds of 60mm Mortar, two Anti-Personnel Mines and two radio sets with antennas, along with a charger.
