Following the recovery of the 01 X 51 mm mortar bomb, a search operation is underway in the area for other arms and ammunition, according to a defence spokesperson.
Although there has been no major incident of violence in Manipur in the past few days, three people were injured after an improvised explosive device (IED) placed in a vehicle exploded at Kwakta, Bishnupur district on Wednesday night.
The injured were shifted to Bishnupur district hospital and one of them is stated to be critical.
Also on Wednesday, security forces dismantled a bunker reportedly used by militants in the Leimakhong area of Imphal West district.
