On Tuesday, Rajouri police seized a balloon resembling an aircraft bearing the inscription Pakistan International Airlines (PIA). According to officials, the balloon was spotted within the Teryath Police Post jurisdiction, and the police immediately took it into possession. However, they later confirmed that there were no electrical or electronic components attached to the balloon.
Earlier this month, the Indian Army thwarted multiple Pakistani drone incursion attempts in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district along the Line of Control (LoC). The Indian Army successfully thwarted an attempt by at least two small quadcopters to violate airspace along the Line of Control in the Poonch area on Sunday morning.
According to officials, the incident occurred around 6 am when the suspected quadcopters attempted to breach Indian airspace along the LoC.
Officials added that the swift counter-drone action by vigilant troops successfully prevented the incursion attempt, forcing the quadcopters to return.
This was not an isolated incident. There have been multiple drone sightings along the LoC and international border over the past few days. The Army has also intensified surveillance and counter-terror operations in the region.
Earlier on February 23, two balloons with the United States' (USD )and Pakistani currencies (PKR) attached to them were found near the Line of Control (LoC) in the Akhnoor sector, Jammu and Kashmir Police said.
