Jammu Nov 12 (NVI) : The Border Security Force (BSF) on Thursday recovered a suspected Pakistani drone from agricultural fields near the International Border in Jammu after reports of its movement in the area during the intervening night, officials said.
The recovered drone, identified as a DJI Matrice 300, was spotted in the Lalfamkima area, approximately 700–800 metres inside Indian territory from the International Border, they said.
According to officials, a suspected drone equipped with blinking blue and red lights was observed hovering over the area falling under the jurisdiction of the BSF’s 101 Battalion around midnight.
Following the sighting, the Air Defence System (ADS) stationed at Nandpur was alerted about the suspected aerial movement.
However, the system did not detect any drone activity, officials said.
Subsequently, BSF personnel launched an extensive search operation in the area to locate the suspected flying object.—(NVI)
