Indian Army Opens Fire At Pakistani Drone In J&K's Poonch, 3rd Incident In 1 Week

Poonch: The Indian Army opened fire at a suspected Pakistani drone that was spotted along the Line of Control (LOC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch for several minutes on Thursday. In the last one week, this is the third drone intrusion attempt that was foiled by the Indian Army.

Over 20 drones have been spotted along the Line of Control and International Border in one week.

Earlier this week, security was tightened in Samba district after drones, suspected to be from Pakistan, were sighted along the Line of Control in the Naushera-Rajouri sector of Jammu and Kashmir. "A few Pakistan Army drones were sighted along the line of control in the Naushera-Rajouri sector of Jammu and Kashmir. The Indian Army troops undertook counter-unmanned aerial systems measures, forcing them to return," Defence Sources told ANI.

A local who witnessed the retaliation of the Indian Army against the suspected Pakistani drones earlier this week said that there was "extensive firing in the areas of Jangarh and Kalal".

Meanwhile, the BSF has increased surveillance along the LoC ahead of Republic Day.
