Massive Cache of Explosives and Weapon-Making Machines Found in Sukma Forests

Sukma

Sukma: In a significant breakthrough during an anti-Naxal operation, security forces uncovered a massive cache of explosives and weapon-making equipment hidden inside a cave in the dense forests of Sukma, Chhattisgarh.


The operation was carried out by a joint team of the CRPF's 203 CoBRA Battalion and 131 Battalion on Wednesday.

Discovery of Naxal Arsenal

The search operation began early Wednesday, focusing on the area between Metagudem and Duler villages. Around 3 PM, the security forces discovered a hidden arsenal approximately 1.5 kilometers from Metagudem village.

Inside the cave, they found a large stockpile of explosives and weapons, believed to belong to Naxal groups.

The recovered items include:

21 Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) packed in soap boxes, each weighing around 250 grams.

Multi-Barrel Grenade Launcher (MBGL) bombs.

Equipment for manufacturing guns and explosives.

A generator set, lathe machine parts, and medical supplies.


Recent Finds in Bijapur

Just a day before this operation, security forces uncovered 8 IEDs weighing 5 kilograms each in the Bijapur district. The IEDs, packed in steel boxes, were planted along a dirt road near Gangloor’s Mutwandi area.

The explosives, arranged in a series to target security forces, were successfully defused by the Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS).

Impact on Anti-Naxal Operations

This discovery is a major setback for Naxal groups operating in the region. The recovered weapons and explosives indicate their continued efforts to target security forces and civilians. However, the proactive measures and operations by CRPF and CoBRA commandos have disrupted their plans.

The authorities have commended the joint forces for their efforts in ensuring the safety and security of the region. The recovered items are being analyzed for further leads, and additional operations are being planned to dismantle remaining Naxal setups in the area.
