Srinagar: The Border Security Force (BSF) on Thursday recovered a suspected Pakistani drone from an agricultural field near the International Border (IB) in Jammu and Kashmir's Samba district.
The recovery followed reports of suspected drone activity across the International Border in the early hours of Thursday. Security forces stepped up vigilance and launched a search operation in the area following the alert.
During the search, BSF personnel recovered a DJI Matrice 300 RTK drone from an agricultural field near Border Outpost Lalfamkima, approximately 800 metres from the International Border.
The drone was found without any payload, officials said. Its recovery has prompted further examination to determine the circumstances under which it entered the area.
The recovered drone has been sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) for detailed examination. Investigators will analyse its technical specifications and other details to establish its origin, ownership and flight range.
