Indian Army Downs Pakistani Surveillance Drone Near Jammu's Line of ControlPreviousNext

The Indian Army shot down a suspected Pakistani surveillance drone near the Line of Control in Jammu's Khour sector after it was detected hovering close to key military installations. The Chinese-made drone, equipped with a high-resolution camera and advanced navigation features, carried a 64 GB memory card containing footage of Indian Army positions. The drone and its storage have been sent for forensic analysis to determine its origin, flight path, and intelligence gathered. Security forces have increased surveillance and anti-drone measures in the area amid ongoing cross-border tensions.
