JAMMU: A suspected Pakistani drone was recovered from an agricultural field near the International Border (IB) in Samba district of Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday, officials said.
The drone, identified as a DJI Matrice 300 RTK, was recovered during a search operation launched by the Border Security Force (BSF) near Border Outpost Lalfamkima, approximately 800 metres from the International Border.
Officials said no payload was found attached to the drone at the time of its recovery.
The recovery followed the detection of suspected drone movement from across the border by BSF troops during the early hours of Thursday. The personnel subsequently activated anti-drone measures and launched a search operation in the area.
The recovered drone has been sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) for detailed examination. Investigators are expected to analyse its technical specifications and gather information to establish its origin, ownership and possible flight history.
