LOC (Line of Control), Jammu & Kashmir – In an exclusive frontline report, India Today journalists embedded with Indian Army units near the Line of Control captured dramatic visuals of unexploded Pakistani ammunition being recovered and destroyed in a controlled operation.
The recovery took place in the Tangdhar sector of Kupwara district, a hotspot along the LoC that frequently witnesses ceasefire violations and cross-border shelling.
Deadly Remnants of Conflict
Following a recent bout of unprovoked shelling from across the border, Indian Army engineers launched a routine post-shelling sweep in forward areas. During the operation, troops discovered several unexploded mortar shells and rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), likely fired by Pakistani forces but which failed to detonate.
“Unexploded ordnance (UXO) poses a grave risk to troops and civilians alike,” said a senior Indian Army official on the ground. “These remnants are silent killers. Neutralizing them safely is a priority.”
High-Risk Disposal Captured Live
In a rare media access operation, India Today cameras were allowed to accompany the Army’s Bomb Disposal Unit (BDU) as they carried out the high-risk task of defusing and destroying the ammunition. Clad in protective gear, the soldiers secured a perimeter, dug out the devices, and used controlled explosions to destroy them safely.
The operation was conducted under strict protocols to prevent accidental detonation. The resulting explosion sent smoke and debris high into the air, captured vividly by India Today’s cameras — a chilling reminder of the constant threat along the LoC.
Army’s Vigilance Thwarts Potential Disaster
Officials emphasized that had these shells detonated near patrol routes or local habitations, the consequences could have been fatal. The Indian Army’s rapid response and technical skill ensured the safety of both soldiers and nearby civilians.
Sources in the defence establishment indicated that the frequency of such shelling incidents has increased in select sectors, despite the February 2021 ceasefire understanding between India and Pakistan.
Pakistan’s Role Under Scrutiny
The incident has once again raised questions about Pakistan’s commitment to the ceasefire and border stability. Defence experts suggest the usage of heavy mortar and RPGs from across the border is indicative of deliberate escalation tactics by Pakistan’s forward units.
“Every time Pakistani forces resort to ceasefire violations, they put innocent civilian lives and regional peace in jeopardy,” said Lt. Gen. (retd.) Rakesh Sharma.
India’s Message: Prepared and Watchful
With these visuals now public, the Indian Army’s message is clear — it remains alert, responsive, and fully capable of neutralizing threats to its territory and people. The footage not only underscores the bravery and expertise of frontline soldiers but also serves as a stark reminder of the simmering tensions that still grip the LoC.
India Today continues to bring ground-zero realities of India’s defence landscape, reaffirming its commitment to fearless and factual journalism.
