The Border Security Force (BSF) on Wednesday foiled yet another drone intrusion attempt from Pakistan's side in the Tarn Taran district of Punjab.

The incident occurred along the India-Pakistan international border in the Ferozepur sector.

A senior BSF officer said that at about 8 pm, BSF troops detected drone intrusion from Pakistan in the area of responsibility of border outpost Harbhajan in the Ferozepur Sector of district Tarn Taran, following which BSF troops fired at the drone.

The officer further said the area was cordoned off, and a search for the drone was conducted on the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday.

In the morning at 8 am on Thursday, BSF troops recovered the drone from a farm. Further search is in progress to recover contraband, he added.

The BSF has foiled several drone intrusions attempts recently.

On Wednesday, BSF troops shot down a drone that entered India from Daoke Border Outpost (BoP) in the Amritsar sector from the Pakistan side on the International Border on Tuesday evening.
