Army troops open fires on Pakistani drone in J&K's Poonch on Monday

Army troops fired a couple of shots at a Pakistani drone near the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district, officials said on February 12.

The drone, however, returned to the Pakistan side after briefly hovering over the Indian territory late Sunday night, “the officials said”, adding the search operation is underway in the area.

They said the movement of the enemy drone was picked up in the Nar Mankote area of Mendhar and the troops guarding the LoC fired at least three rounds to bring it down.

The Jammu and Kashmir police recently announced a cash reward of ₹3 lakh to anyone informing on drones flown from across the border to drop narcotics, arms or explosive materials, leading to the recovery of the material.
