It was also determined that there was a hostage room separated by a steel door in the cave, which has 4 rooms and is considered to be large enough to accommodate 50 terrorists.
In the search made in the cave;
- 10 pieces of 81 and 100 mm mortar ammunition,
- 9 IEDs with compression mechanisms were seized.
While the detected cave was destroyed, the ammunition and IEDs found were also destroyed by our METI team.
