Notably, this happened barely a day after the Indian Army discovered another Pakistani drone along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir. The drone, which was coming from Pakistan, was discovered late Friday night in the Balnoi region of Mendhar, where it drew the notice of security forces, who fired a few rounds at it and drove it away.
Earlier in July, a drone was spotted in Rajpura area of Samba district. The drone was seen in the village of Chilyari, and it left Indian territory from the nearby town of Chak Dulma.
In yet another attempt by the neighbouring nation to infiltrate the area, a Pakistani drone was discovered near the Samba International border on June 3.
