Jammu, Jan 12

Multiple Pakistani drones were successfully tackled by the Army in Jammu and Kashmir's border areas, both at the Line of Control and the International Border.

Officials said that the Army late Sunday evening engaged Pakistani drones with firing after sighting them along the LoC in the Naushera sector of Rajouri district.

The officials said alert soldiers detected an aerial intrusion and immediately activated counter-unmanned aerial systems, forcing the drone to retreat across the LoC.

No damage or casualties were reported in the incident.

"Five drone sightings have been reported along the International Border and the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir. These sightings include multiple instances of suspected Pakistan Army drones attempting reconnaissance or surveillance activities in sensitive border areas. A few drones belonging to the Pakistan Army were specifically sighted along the LoC in the Naushera-Rajouri sector," the officials said.

Alert Army units responded promptly by employing standard counter-drone measures, successfully preventing any further intrusions.

"Armed forces remain on high alert across forward areas in Rajouri and adjoining sectors in view of the repeated drone activity. Surveillance and monitoring along the Line of Control and the International Border have been further intensified to deal with any future attempts," the officials said.

"The situation along the border areas is under close watch with defence agencies maintaining heightened vigilance to safeguard territorial integrity and prevent hostile activities," the officials added.

Drones are being used by terror outfits with the support of Pakistan ISI to send arms, cash and drugs into Jammu and Kashmir to sustain terrorism in the union territory.

The typical modus operandi of these terror outfits is to drop the drone payloads of arms, drugs, cash, etc., at a pre-determined spot. This consignment is later picked up by the overground workers (OGWs) and couriers of terrorists and then passed on to the terrorists.

Anti-drone equipment is deployed all along the LoC and the International Border in the union territory, and this has largely brought down the efficacy of drones for the adversary.

This is deeply concerning. While I'm relieved no damage occurred, the repeated nature of these incursions shows a pattern of provocation. The safety of our troops and civilians in border areas must be the absolute priority. Well done to the Army for their alertness.

The part about drones being used to send arms and drugs is terrifying. This isn't just a border security issue, it's about protecting our youth from being radicalized and addicted. We need even stronger counter-measures and better awareness in border villages about these OGW networks.

Good job by our forces. But a respectful criticism: we read about these incidents every few months. Shouldn't there be a more permanent technological solution or stronger diplomatic pressure to stop this at the source? Our soldiers are doing their part, but what about long-term strategy?

The investment in anti-drone equipment seems to be paying off. "Largely brought down the efficacy" is the key phrase here. We must continue to modernize our defenses. Proud of our armed forces for adapting so quickly to these new-age threats.

My heart goes out to the families living in these border areas. They must live with this constant tension. Thank you to our jawans for standing guard day and night. We sleep peacefully because they are awake.
