Indian Army opens fire after suspected drones sighted along LoC in Jammu and Kashmir

Multiple drones were sighted along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Naushera-Rajouri sector, said defence sources on Sunday. They said that the Indian Army employed counter-unmanned aerial systems (UAS) measures, forcing the drones to return.

One of the drones was sighted around 6.35 pm over the Gania-Kalsian village in the Nowshera



sector, while another one was spotted at 6.35 pm at Khabbar village in Teryath in the Rajouri district.

According to the sources, the drones came from the Pakistani side and were hovering over the Indian territory before the Indian Army troops opened fire at them using light machine guns (LMGs) and medium machine guns (MMGs), forcing them to return.
