Drone Activity Detected Along LoC in Rajouri, Security Forces on High Alert

Rajouri, August 29: Security forces along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir have been placed on high alert after fresh drone activity was detected in the Rajouri sector, raising concerns over possible attempts to smuggle weapons, ammunition or other contraband across the border.

 

 

According to Army sources, a Pakistani unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was detected on the night of August 28 at around 8:05 PM in the forward area of Rajouri.

 

The drone was spotted hovering over the general area of Behrooti, which falls under the Operational Area of Responsibility (AoR) of the 22 Jammu and Kashmir Rifles (22 JAK RIF).

 

 

Alert troops immediately detected and tracked the aerial movement. The UAV was subsequently observed manoeuvring towards the Mangalnar-Dabrote axis, following which security forces intensified surveillance across the forward sector.

 

 

 

Following the detection, troops have strengthened both aerial and ground surveillance in the area. Security personnel are conducting searches in adjoining forward locations to check for any possible material dropped by the drone.

Security agencies are particularly keeping watch for the possible dropping of arms, ammunition, narcotics or other contraband through the unmanned aerial platform.

 

The incident comes amid continued security concerns along the LoC, where drones have increasingly emerged as a potential tool for cross-border smuggling and reconnaissance.

 

 

Security forces remain on heightened alert and are closely monitoring the border area for any further aerial movement or suspicious activity.
