Aeroplane-shaped balloon from Pakistan found in Jammu

A suspicious aeroplane-shaped balloon with Pakistan International Airlines’ logo on it was found on Sunday in J&K’s Jammu city.

Officials said that the white and saffron-coloured Pakistani balloon was found in the Nai Basti area of Jammu and had ‘PIA’ written on it in green colour.

Balloons released into the air from the Pakistani side across the international border have periodically been found in Jammu, Kathua and Samba districts close to the



border.

Sometimes, such suspicious objects have also been found near the Line of Control (LoC) in Rajouri and Poonch districts.

Drones have been used by terror outfits operating from across the border with the help of the Pakistani Army to carry weapons, drugs and cash to support terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.

Special equipment is deployed by the Border Security Force (BSF) along the international border to trace and shoot down these drones.
