A suspected drone of Pakistan origin was sighted along the International Border in Kathua district of Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday, triggering a search operation by security forces. The drone-like object was seen hovering over forward villages in Bobiyan area of Hiranagar sector around 10:35 am, officials said.
After a few minutes, the suspected drone was seen receding towards Pakistan. Security forces cordoned off the area and launched a search to check if any payload of narcotics or weapons was airdropped. Nothing objectionable was recovered during the operation, officials added.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Drones from across the border are a recurring concern in Jammu and Kashmir, often used to drop arms and drugs. In 2024, multiple such sightings led to recovery of consignments in Punjab and J-K. The IB in Kathua is a known corridor. While nothing was found this time, each sighting resets vigilance protocols. Watch for follow-up searches over the next 48 hours and any recovery of contraband in adjoining villages.
