The Army has deemed the finding of an M-16 assault rifle made in China from the three terrorists killed on Thursday during an anti-infiltration operation along the Line of Control in Uri as “strange.”
The Pakistani terrorists who were slain in Uri’s Kamalkote neighbourhood while attempting to cross into Indian territory had been found to be in possession of two AK-series guns, one Chinese M-16 rifle, and ammo, according to the army.
“Rifles from the AK series and occasionally the M-4 are retrieved. This M-16 is a 9-mm rifle made in China. This recovery is uncommon, “Major General Ajay Chandpuri, the Army’s 19 Infantry Division’s General Officer Commanding (GoC), spoke to media in Baramulla, in northern Kashmir.
He added that it would be premature to determine whether this suggests a possible connection between the Chinese Army, terrorists, and the Pakistani Army. “To make assumptions about the bigger context would be premature. Thus, I believe that we will need to thoroughly investigate and go into the facts “he said .
