SAMBA, Nov 22: Security forces detected the movement of a drone along the international border in Jammu and Kashmir’s Samba district, suspected to have originated from Pakistan. The sighting has raised concerns about cross-border activity and potential attempts to drop arms or contraband in the area.
Officials confirmed that the drone was observed during routine surveillance. Alert troops immediately responded, and search operations were launched in adjoining areas to ensure no payload had been dropped.
Preliminary assessments suggest the drone activity may be linked to recurring attempts at infiltration and smuggling. Security agencies have intensified monitoring in the sector, deploying advanced equipment to counter aerial incursions.
Authorities emphasized that the incident highlights the need for heightened vigilance along the border. Investigations are underway to determine the origin of the drone and whether it was connected to any organized network.
