Security forces in Jammu and Kashmir are currently engaged in operations following multiple drone sightings and an infiltration attempt by Pakistan. In the Poonch district, approximately half a dozen drones were observed hovering near the Line of Control (LoC), leading to a cordoned-off area and search operations for potential air-dropped weapons or narcotics. These drones, believed to be for surveillance, returned to Pakistan shortly after their sighting. Concurrently, in the Uri sector, suspicious movements prompted Indian troops to open fire, with ongoing search operations to thwart any infiltration attempts. The situation is compounded by Pakistan’s historical use of drones for nefarious activities, including weapon and narcotics drops, thus posing significant challenges for Indian security agencies. The Indian Army has recently demonstrated its vigilance by foiling an infiltration attempt earlier this month. This heightened security response underscores India’s commitment to safeguarding its territorial integrity amidst escalating tensions in the region, particularly concerning Pakistan’s ongoing attempts to undermine stability through aerial surveillance and infiltration tactics. Such proactive measures reflect India’s robust defense strategy, aimed at countering asymmetric threats along the LoC while enhancing border security mechanisms.
