Indian Army Shoots Down Drones Near LoC, Suspects Dropping of Firearms & Drugs
A video footage showing the bright tracer bullets doing rounds and lighting up the night sky, it recalled Operation Sindoor, last year.
According to the Indian Army, it was not one but multiple drones that they spotted. They even checked the area for suspected droppings of firearms and drugs.
Their suspicion was genuine because yesterday, a drone dropped a shipment of weapons in the Samba area. It came from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Timeline of Drone Sightings
The multiple drones spotted had different timelines. At 6:35, it occurred in the Rajouri District.
According to officials, a flying object with a blinking light appeared from Dharmsal village in Kalakote and then headed towards Bharakh.
Another drone-like object with a blinking light hovered over Chak Babral village in Ramgarh sector of Samba at 7:15 PM.
One more drone was seen moving to Topa in the Mankote sector near the LoC in the Poonch district at 6:25 PM. It was said to move from Tain.
Drone Sightings Have Reduced After Operation Sindoor
The drone sightings in the LoC area in Jammu & Kashmir are not a new incident. There have been reports of Pakistani drones being shot down by India during Operation Sindoor.
After that, there was a sharp fall in drone activities. But again, five Pakistani drone intrusions have appeared in a single day today.

The main objective behind Pakistan's use of drones is the dropping of armaments and drugs on Indian soil with the motive to support state-sponsored terror groups.
