    A Pulwama-like attack was prevented on Thursday, the Indian Army said in a statement after recovering 52 kilograms of explosives near Letapora in Jammu and Kashmir.

    According to NDTV, the Army said that a Syntex water tank was found buried in an orchard in the Karewa area of Gadikal during a joint search operation at 8 am on Thursday.

    Around 52 kilograms of explosives—416 packets of 125 gram each—were found in the tank.

    Pulwama accused were planning another attack: NIA

    According to the 13,500-page chargesheet filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in connection with the Pulwama attack, the Jaish-e-Mohammad group had carried out the attack and had planned to orchestrate a similar attack.

    The second attempt, for which suicide bombers had already been arranged, was thwarted by India's airstrikes at a JeM training facility in Balakot, Pakistan.
