Samba (Jammu and Kashmir): Suspected drone activity was reported in Jammu and Kashmir's Samba district on Monday night. "Suspected drone movements were reported in Samba last night. We have alerted all police posts and nakas," Superintendents of police (SSP) Samba Rajesh Sharma informed.
Suspected drone activity was also reported on Sunday night from four places in the Bari Brahmana area of Samba. Earlier on Friday, suspected drones were spotted at three different places in the Samba district. After the Jammu attack, the number of drone sightings has gone up drastically and there have been several instances where the Army and Border Security Forces (BSF) troops at the border have fired at them.
Director General of Police Dilbag Singh asserted that Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) outfits are behind the dropping of arms, IEDs and narcotics by drones in Jammu and Kashmir. The DGP said counter measures are in place and these would be further strengthened to defeat any conspiracy against peace in the region. Singh was speaking during a security review meeting after conducting an aerial survey of the flash flood-hit area at Hounzar Dachan, besides inaugurating a Covid care centre at district police lines in Kishtwar.
