The army in Jammu and Kashmir’s Samba district cordoned off a Military Engineering Service (MES) building following reports of two suspicious individuals in army-like uniforms. Promptly alerted by locals, the army sealed the area and initiated a search operation to verify the individuals’ identities and ensure security. Additional security measures were implemented, and movement in the vicinity was temporarily restricted during the operation.
The international border in Samba district is guarded by the Border Security Force (BSF) to prevent activities like drones carrying arms, drugs, and cash, used by terrorist groups with support from Pakistan’s ISI. Indian armed forces often engage these drones, compelling them to retreat across the border. The BSF employs advanced anti-drone technology to counter these threats effectively.
Terrorists occasionally attempt infiltration along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir, with the army safeguarding areas like Baramulla, Kupwara, Bandipora, Poonch, Rajouri, and parts of Jammu. Despite challenges, security forces remain vigilant against incursions and drone-related terrorism in the region.
