Suspected drones were observed along the International Border in the Samba district of Jammu, and the armed forces successfully downed a surveillance drone in Punjab's Jalandhar district, signaling fresh tensions between India and Pakistan.
The sighting of the drones came shortly after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's first address post-Operation Sindoor and the DGMO meet of both nations. The Army has assured the situation remains calm and under control, with no enemy drones currently reported.
Despite claims of control, precautionary measures including blackouts in Jammu regions signaled the underlying tensions. Recent drone sightings have thrown the February 2021 ceasefire between the nations into question, with violations continuing along the 740-km-long LoC.
