Following Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi's stern warning to Pakistan, two incidents of drone sighting have been reported along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir, said defence sources on Thursday evening.
The security personnel initiated counter unmanned aerial systems (UAS) measures and issued a high alert in the area.
This is the third such incident reported this week. The first drone sighting was reported on Monday when multiple UAVs were spotted in Naushera-Rajouri sector, forcing the Indian Army to employ counter-UAS measures. Later, drone activity was reported in the Keri sector in Rajouri district on Tuesday, forcing security forces to issue an alert.
Following the first sighting of drones, the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of the two sides had held high-level talks, with India raising its concerns. It should be noted that the Indian Armed Forces have remained on high alert along the LoC and the International Border (IB) in Jammu and Kashmir in view of the upcoming Republic Day celebrations.
