Suspected Pakistan drone triggers search operation along LoC in Poonch

A drone suspected to originate from Pakistan was spotted flying over the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district on August 28, 2026, prompting Indian security forces to initiate a search operation. The drone was observed in the Behrooti village area of Balakote in the Mendhar sector and moved toward the Mangalnar-Dabrote border area before returning to Pakistan. Security forces increased surveillance and conducted a search at dawn to check for any suspicious materials. The operation continues, with additional searches ongoing in nearby forested regions of Udhampur, Kathua, and Rajouri based on reports of unusual activity. In Rajouri, a separate search was launched after villagers reported the presence of two suspected armed individuals, though no contact has yet been made with them.

Suspected Pakistan drone spotted near LoC in Poonch; Jammu and Kashmir on high alert

A suspected Pakistani drone was spotted hovering near the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district, prompting heightened security measures and search operations by Indian forces. The drone was detected near Behrooti village in the Balakote area of Mendhar sector and appeared to move toward the Mangalnar-Dabrote axis before returning to Pakistan.
