Jammu: A suspected Pakistani drone was recovered from an agricultural field near the International Border in Jammu and Kashmir's Samba district on Thursday, officials said.
The drone, identified as a DJI Matrice 300 RTK, was recovered from Border Outpost Lalfamkima, about 800 metres from the IB, during a search operation conducted by the Border Security Force (BSF).
No payload was found attached to the drone. It was sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) for detailed examination.
Investigators are expected to analyse the device to establish its technical details and gather information that could help determine its origin, ownership and possible flight history.
The BSF launched the search operation after its troops spotted suspected drone movement from across the border in the early hours of the day and activated the anti-drone mechanism, officials said.
