Overview
- Security forces reported at least five drone movements on Sunday evening over forward areas of Samba, Rajouri and Poonch, with brief incursions before the objects turned back.
- Army troops fired at a drone over Gania‑Kalsian in the Nowshera sector, and counter‑UAS measures were activated as additional sightings were logged near Khabbar in Teryath, Chak Babral in Ramgarh and the Mankote axis.
- Search operations were launched across the affected sectors by the Army, BSF, J&K Police SOG and other units to verify any drops or devices, with no recoveries or arrests confirmed so far.
- Intelligence agencies opened a probe after satellite‑phone activity was detected in the Kanachak area early Sunday, examining possible links to the evening drone activity.
- The alert followed Friday night’s recovery of a small arms package near the Samba IB—two pistols, three magazines, 16 rounds and a grenade—with a case registered to trace routes, launch points and intended recipients.
