Armed Drone Threat Raises Alarm
Officials say the possibility of weaponized drones has heightened alert levels across all border posts. Security forces are actively monitoring airspace activity, and counter-drone protocols are in place.
“Some of these drones are suspected to be armed. They could pose direct threats to key defence assets or civilian populations,” a defence official said.
The sightings come amid already heightened tensions following recent cross-border shelling, drone intrusions, and infiltration attempts.
Nation on Alert as Surveillance Intensifies
Security agencies have ramped up surveillance, radar monitoring, and anti-drone measures. High-level coordination is underway between the Indian Army, Air Force, BSF, and local police units to track the movement and origin of these UAVs.
