Additionally, the terrorists took a CCTV  mother unit  installed at the monastery, a donation box containing offerings money and a vehicle owned by the monastery, it is reported.
    Regarding the above incident, security personnel are continuing necessary operations in accordance with standard procedures to identify, apprehend and take action against the terrorists involved, it is reported.
