Jammu and Kashmir: Panic spread in the Ramgarh area of Samba after a drone, believed to be from Pakistan, was sighted once again. Over the past few days, there have been three separate incidents of drone sightings near the International Border (IB) in the Jammu sector of Jammu and Kashmir.
According to Jagran.com, a suspicious drone crossed into Indian airspace around 7 pm on Saturday. It remained within Indian territory for approximately 3 to 4 minutes before returning to Pakistan.

Local residents managed to capture footage of the drone, which was seen near the Border Security Force's Kandi area in Rajouri district, within Indian borders. In response, security forces have been placed on high alert, and a search operation has been launched. Authorities have been vigilant due to increased drone activity in recent days.
A few days earlier, security forces discovered a weapons cache that had been dropped by a drone in the border village of Palura in Ghagwal. Drone activity has been particularly frequent in the Ramgarh area, prompting regular search operations by security personnel. However, following the most recent sighting, no weapons or narcotics were recovered.
