A Pakistan-origin drone was spotted by Border Security Force (BSF) personnel over Ferozepur district in Punjab late on Wednesday evening. This is the second time in the last three days that drones have been spotted in this area. According to news agency IANS, they were seen over Hazarsingh Wala village at 7.20 pm and then over Tendiwala village at 10.10 pm. Drones had earlier been spotted thrice on Monday night, with one reportedly flying at least a kilometre into Indian airspace before vanishing from view around midnight. Earlier the same night BSF personnel also saw more drones near the Pakistan side of the border.
“For the last two days we have been spotting a drone-like object hovering near our border with Pakistan. We have formed teams to investigate and have approached BSF also,” Sukhvinder Singh, District Superintendent of Police, was quoted by news agency.Last month, Punjab Police reported drones dropping AK-47 rifles, grenades and satellite phones in eight sorties over a period of 10 days. The drones, carrying payloads of up to five kilograms each, were reportedly flying fast and low to evade detection.
