Residents of the Khasa area here claimed to have seen several drones being neutralised mid-air by the air defence system on Friday morning.

The area is located around 16 km away from the International Border. Local residents said they heard explosions around 5 am. Rajinder Singh of Khasa said, "They saw red streaks in the sky that burst in the air with explosions."

Soon thereafter, the district administration advised people to stay indoors. Officials, however, remained tight-lipped over the development. Similar, explosions were also heard in the nearby Chheharata area.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
