Samba: A suspected Pakistani drone intrusion was reported along the International Border in Jammu and Kashmir’s Samba district on Thursday. Drones were spotted near Keso Mahansan village in the Ramgarh sector, prompting authorities to sound a high alert and initiate countermeasures. This is the third instance of drone sightings from across the border in J&K in recent days.
In a separate incident, a drone-like object was seen hovering over Degwar village in Poonch for about ten minutes around 7:30 pm. The Indian Army fired a few rounds in an effort to neutralise it. Security forces remain on high alert, and further details are awaited.
Notably, Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi on Tuesday stated that India has put Pakistan “on notice” over recent unmanned aerial vehicle sightings along the Line of Control. He said New Delhi has conveyed to Islamabad that such activities are “not acceptable,” even as Operation Sindoor continues to address security challenges along the western front.
“We have told Pakistan to rein in its drones,” the Army Chief said, adding that the Army remains fully alert and prepared to respond to any future misadventure.
Hours after this warning, multiple Pakistani drones were detected near the Dungala–Nabla area of the Rajouri sector. Indian Army personnel fired upon them in accordance with standard operating procedures.
