Overview
- A Border Security Force and J&K Police Special Operations Group team conducted a late‑night search after inputs on suspected cross‑border drone movement.
- Searchers located a yellow‑taped packet in the Regal forward area near a stream, which a bomb squad opened to recover two pistols, three magazines, 16 rounds and a grenade.
- Officials say the consignment was likely meant for disruptive activity in the border belt, with intended recipients yet to be identified.
- A case has been registered and the probe is underway to establish the drone’s route and origin, and no arrests have been reported.
- Patrols and surveillance have been reinforced in the border area as security is tightened ahead of Republic Day.
