India Sees 5-Year High Arms Seizures in 2025

India Sees 5-Year High Arms Seizures in 2025

In 2025, India saw the highest number of arms and ammunition seizures in five years.

The Border Security Force (BSF) found more AK-series weapons, detonators, magazines, explosives, and wireless sets than ever before.

This increase happened alongside two major terror attacks in Pahalgam and Delhi.

Officials believe that these seizures show a planned effort by adversaries, likely Pakistan, to bring more weapons and explosives into India.

The BSF has been working hard to stop these items from crossing the borders, but the high numbers in 2025 show that the threat is still very serious.
