The raid continued from Friday evening to Saturday afternoon, said RAB Legal and Media Wing Chief Mufti Mahmud Khan.
Ten Chinese-made rockets were recovered from a bunker, he said. "The 40mm high-explosive rockets can strike and destroy tanks and cars from 1,500-metre distance."
The official could not say whether any terrorist or militant group had planned to use the rockets.
Separatist groups in the border region might have been stocking them, Khan said.
RAB had previously seized mortar shells, rocket launchers, machine guns and other explosives from the park, which borders the Indian state of Tripura.
A bunker was also discovered in the hills in the area. RAB officials said the weapons may have belonged to an Indian separatist group.
