Early Wednesday morning, Indian Army troops fired at a Pakistani drone that crossed into Indian territory in the Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir. The drone was spotted around 1 AM, flying near the border fence in the Mendhar sector.
Although the soldiers shot nearly a dozen rounds at the drone, it managed to return to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) without being hit. This incident shows the ongoing tensions in the area, where drones have raised security concerns.
After the drone was spotted, the Army launched a search operation at daybreak to check for any weapons or drugs that might have been dropped by the drone. Officials reported that the search was still ongoing.
Drones have become a worry for Indian security forces, as they are often used to smuggle arms and drugs across the border. The Indian Army is staying alert to monitor any aerial activities to protect the country.
As the search continues, authorities are working to keep the border safe from any further threats.
