A drone movement was detected and effectively repulsed by the Border Security Force (BSF) in the Kanachak sector of Jammu district on Friday.

"On July 22 at nearly 9:40 p.m. BSF troops observed a blinking light coming from Pakistan side in Kanachak area. Alert BSF troops fired on it. Search of the area in progress," the BSF said in a statement.

There have been several instances of weapon dropping by drones from Pakistan near the international border in Jammu for terrorists operating in Jammu and Kashmir.
