BSF Spots Another Drone In Jammu, 6th In 15 Days After Air Base Attack

A senior official told NDTV that UAVs are Pakistan's new "watch towers", and this particular one was flying at a height of 200 metres and was well within Indian territory

A drone was spotted 100-150 metres inside Indian territory in the Arnia sector of Jammu and Kashmir late on Tuesday night. The UAV, or unmanned aerial vehicle, was spotted by alert BSF personnel who opened fire, after which the drone disappeared for a while before returning. The BSF believes the drone, seen near the village of Sai that lies along the international border in this area, was either tasked with spying or dropping arms and ammunition. A senior official told NDTV that UAVs were Pakistan's new "watch towers" and were being used in abundance. The official also said it was at a height of 200 metres and well within Indian territory. "When our alert troops fired it went back," the official said, adding, "Troops are on alert. The area is being searched but, so far, nothing has been detected."
