One AK-47 assault rifle, two AK-47 magazines, and some eatables were seized from the spot.
"Pakistan markings on the eatables and a few other items clearly indicate the complicity of Pakistan in sponsoring terror activists in J&K," the spokesman said.
He said that security forces are maintaining a robust counter-infiltration grid along the LoC to foil any nefarious design of Pakistan.
The spokesman added that Pakistan troops violated ceasefire at many locations on Sunday, including Krishna Ghati, and Mankote and Mendhar sectors of Poonch district.
