ecurity forces have recovered more dangerous weapons during multiple operations conducted after a series of terror attacks in the Jammu region, officials reported on Monday.

Many of these weapons were previously used by Taliban terrorists or abandoned by American soldiers before they departed from Afghanistan, according to officials.

Security officials noted that the pattern of weapon recoveries indicates these arms are now being smuggled into Kashmir through Pakistan. Among these weapons are lethal US-made M4 carbine assault rifles, capable of firing 700-970 steel bullets per minute.

These steel bullets are more capable of piercing vehicle bodies than copper bullets. The M4’s effective firing range is 500-600 meters, with a maximum range of 3,600 meters.
