JAMMU, May 12: Suspected drones were observed along the International Border in Samba district of Jammu region on Monday, while armed forces downed a “surveillance drone” in Punjab’s Jalandhar district.
Security forces were engaging the suspected drones in Samba district, the Army said.
The drone activity along the borderline came barely hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s first address to the nation following Operation Sindoor and the meeting of the DGMOs of India and Pakistan.
The Army said the situation is calm and under full control. “No enemy drones are being reported at present,” it said.
In the backdrop of the situation, several areas witnessed blackouts in Samba, Kathua, Rajouri, and Jammu. Lights were switched off at the cave shrine of Mata Vaishno Devi and along its track. (PTI)
