A small drone was discovered inside an Army camp in Jammu & Kashmir, prompting a major security alert and investigation into potential surveillance or threat.
The discovery of the drone, reportedly equipped with a small camera, raised concerns about a possible breach of sensitive military infrastructure. The incident took place on Friday morning when on-duty personnel noticed the suspicious object hovering at low altitude within the perimeter of the camp. Upon recovering the drone, officials immediately cordoned off the area and launched a technical analysis of the device.
Initial assessments suggest the drone may have been deployed for surveillance purposes, though authorities have not ruled out other possibilities, including reconnaissance for future sabotage. Senior Army officers, along with a forensic and electronic intelligence team, are probing the matter to trace the flight path and potential handlers behind the intrusion.
This incident adds to a growing list of drone-related concerns in border regions, particularly in Jammu & Kashmir and Punjab, where drones have previously been used for smuggling and espionage. The Army has reiterated its commitment to enhancing counter-drone systems and has urged personnel to remain vigilant.
No casualties or physical damage have been reported. However, the presence of the drone inside a high-security military zone has intensified the need for advanced surveillance and anti-drone technologies to secure India's sensitive defence lo
cations.
