ZAFARWAL: The Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) has recovered Indian made anti-tank mine from Nala Dek, a seasonal stream in the Zafarwal area. According to the BDS, the mine is of Indian origin and weighs approximately 18 pounds. The mine is believed to have been carried into Pakistani territory by the floodwaters that surged through the area following recent heavy rains. This is the second such recovery within the last 24 hours, raising concerns over the potential presence of more such explosives in the flood-affected regions.
