The recoveries from the hideout include a 51/52mm mortar, a 7.62mm self-loading rifle, two Pakistan-origin pistols, one hand-held radio set, 415 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition, 12 rounds of 0.380mm ammunition, six mortar bombs, 12 UBGL grenades, 10 hand grenades, three 7.62mm rifle magazines and two pistol magazines, he said.
