The terrorists also lost some weapons and equipment including the captured 13 rifles, a machine gun, rocket propelled grenade tubes and several other assorted ammunition. A Toyota Bufallo vehicle was also recovered from the terrorists while two of their armoured vehicles were also destroyed in the battle.
