The first suspect, identified as Musa Fashir, 32, is suspected to be a Sudanese national allegedly linked to terrorist elements operating in the North-East.
The second suspect, identified as Mary Florence, 36, reportedly claimed during preliminary interrogation that she was an illegal immigrant from Ghana.
The two suspects are currently in military custody and undergoing investigation to verify their identities, immigration status, and possible links to terrorist activities.
Military sources said more details would be released as investigations continue, adding that the operation is part of ongoing efforts by Operation Hadin Kai to disrupt terrorist networks, track foreign fighters, and strengthen border security across the North-East.
