A Pakistani drone fitted with Improvised Explosive device (IED) was shot down by the alert cops of the J&K Police near Kanachak area of Jammu late on Thursday. The drone, which a senior police officer claimed was assembled with spare parts from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, had penetrated 6-7 km inside the Indian territory before it was shot down by the cops.
After the drone attack on Air Force Station, Jammu, on June 27, the security of several vital installations was beefed up and anti-drone technology was installed to prevent the similar strike.
Preliminary investigations of the drone assembly revealed that the strings used to drop the payload fitted with the drone was similar to the one recovered from the site of drone attack inside the Air Force station, Jammu, on June 27.
