The Army in Jammu and Kashmir effectively dealt with several Pakistani drones along the Line of Control (LoC) and the International Border. In the Naushera sector of Rajouri district, the Army engaged the drones with firing after spotting them late Sunday evening. Alert soldiers identified the intrusion and activated counter-unmanned aerial systems, compelling the drone to retreat across the LoC.
No damage or casualties were reported during the incident. Officials mentioned that there were five drone sightings along the International Border and the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir. These sightings included suspected Pakistan Army drones conducting reconnaissance or surveillance activities in sensitive border regions. Some drones were specifically observed along the LoC in the Naushera-Rajouri sector.
Prompt responses from the Army units with standard counter-drone measures effectively prevented further intrusions. The armed forces are maintaining a high alert in Rajouri and nearby areas due to the recurring drone activities. Surveillance and monitoring along the Line of Control and the International Border have been intensified to address any potential future attempts.
Defence agencies are closely monitoring the border areas to protect territorial integrity and prevent hostile activities. Terror outfits, with support from Pakistan ISI, are using drones to transport arms, cash, and drugs into Jammu and Kashmir to sustain terrorism in the region. Anti-drone equipment is deployed extensively along the LoC and the International Border, significantly reducing the effectiveness of drones for hostile forces.
