J&K: Search Operation Launched After Suspected Pakistani Drone Spotted Along LoC in Rajouri

Jammu, July 6: Security forces launched a search operation in Jammu and Kashmir‘s Rajouri district on Monday after a suspected Pakistani drone was sighted over forward villages along the Line of Control (LoC), officials said.

The drone-like object, fitted with a blinking light, was spotted late Sunday over Meenka and Beripattan villages in the Sunderbani sector. Officials said it briefly entered the Indian side before returning across the LoC into Pakistan.

A search operation was launched at first light after security personnel cordoned off the area to ascertain whether the drone had dropped any payload, including narcotics or weapons.

Officials said no suspicious or objectionable material was recovered during the operation. (Agencies)
