Ammunition seized from UPDF hideout in Rangamati: ISPR

Members of Bangladesh Army found a secret hideout of the United People's Democratic Front (UPDF) in the Kaukhali area of Rangamati on Friday.

Acting on a tip-off, an army patrol team carried out a special operation targeting high-ranking UPDF miscreants and located the hideout, according to a press release from the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), reports UNB.

Sensing the presence of the army, the miscreants fled the scene, it said.

During a subsequent search, the Army recovered several items, including 17 rounds of pistol ammunition, a binocular, a walkie-talkie set, a hard disk, uniforms of the miscreants, extortion receipts, and other various equipments.

During the operation, UPDF (Main) attempted to disrupt the efforts by mobilising a group of tribal women to stage protests and even tried to seize the captured ammunition and equipment.
