BSF Personnel Open Fire At Flying Object Near Border In Jammu

Border Security Force (BSF) personnel opened fire at a flying object after they spotted it near the International Border (IB) in the Arnia sector of Jammu and Kashmir, a senior official said on Wednesday. On the intervening night of July 13 and 14, a blinking red light was observed by the troops in the Arnia sector at a height of 200 meters on their own side, the official said in a statement.

“The troops fired from their position towards the red blinking light due to which it returned. The area is being searched. Nothing has been found so far,” he added. On July 2, a quadcopter from Pakistan tried to enter the Indian territory along the international border from the Arnia sector but retreated after it was fired at by the personnel of the BSF.

In what was the first instance of Pakistan-based terrorists deploying drones to strike vital installations, two bombs were dropped at the IAF station in Jammu city in the early hours of June 27, causing minor injuries to two personnel.
Authorities in various districts, mostly in border districts in Jammu and Kashmir, have banned the storage, sale, or possession of drones and other unmanned aerial vehicles.
