In Jammu and Kashmir, a drone was recovered from an open field in Samba district today. The drone was found lying in an agricultural field near Devak by a resident of Chak Salaria, who spotted it while out on a morning run. The individual immediately informed the nearby army unit, and subsequently, the drone was seized.

The drone has been sent for forensic examination to determine its origin, technical specifications, and whether it was used for any cross-border activity. Earlier, on Monday, Army troops deployed in the adjoining Nandpur village detected an unidentified flying object, suspected to be a drone, as it approached from the Arnia side at around 9 PM.

The Army immediately activated its anti-drone protocol and initiated jamming measures against the suspected drone. Officials said the recovered drone is suspected to be the same flying object and is believed to have come down following the jamming operation.
