SAMBA/JAMMU: Border Security Force (BSF) personnel opened fire to shoot down a Pakistani drone near the International Border (IB) in Samba district of Jammu and Kashmir on Friday night, officials said.
The BSF personnel detected the movement of a drone from the Pakistan side late in the night and fired nearly two dozen rounds. However, the drone was flown back to the neighbouring country, officials said.
A search operation was launched at Narayanpur in the Ramgarh sector on Saturday morning to sanitize the border outpost area to ensure that the drone did not drop any weapons or narcotics, they added.
