Pak drones, armed men spur searches in Poonch, Rajouri
Pakistani drones and armed individuals have prompted security forces in India to launch extensive searches in the Poonch, Rajouri, Udhampur, and Kathua districts, bordering Pakistan.
On Friday evening, a drone was reported to be hovering over the Mendhar sector of Poonch, prompting security forces to initiate cordon-and-search operations. The drone, observed in Behrooti village, moved towards Mangalnar-Dabrote before returning to Pakistan.
Separately, Pakistani drones were reportedly seen in the border area of Rumlidhara in Nowshera sector of Rajouri, leading to intensified searches aimed at preventing any weapons, narcotics, or other contraband from being air-dropped.
In Udhampur-Kathua forests, security forces have been scouring vast forested areas in response to reports of suspicious movements of people. This operation follows the neutralization of two Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists in the Jopher area earlier this month, who had been hiding in a cave.
Local reports indicate that in Rajouri's frontier villages, such as Mogla and Narla, two armed individuals were spotted. Investigations are ongoing to determine the origin and intentions of these individuals.
