Srinagar . Once again in Jammu and Kashmir, the security forces have foiled the terrorist plans. Security forces found an IED in Ahstingo area near Bandipora Road. It is being told that to target the security forces, the terrorists had planted this IED explosive, so that when Indian soldiers passed through this route, they could be detonated.
However, the promptness of the security forces foiled the plans of the terrorists and the IED was detected. As soon as the security forces came to know about the IED explosive, the Bomb Disposal Squad was immediately called to defuse the IED and destroy it completely. Subsequently, the Bomb Disposal Squad defused the IED found near the Bandipora-Sopore road between Badiyara and Kanbathi villages in Bandipora district of Jammu and Kashmir.
This is not the first time that terrorists have planted an IED, but even before this, these terrorists have done so many times to target the security forces.
