Blinking light was not observed by troops thereafter. Hectic Search of area is in progress along with Police and other agencies. Nothing recovered so far,” said the force in a statement.
There have been several instances of weapons droppings by drones from Pakistan near the International Border in Jammu for terrorists operating in the union territory.
The BSF has recovered several weapon caches in the past and foiled the designs of terrorists and their handlers across the border.
On July 22, a drone movement was detected and effectively repulsed by the BSF in the Kanachak sector of Jammu.
