Six drones were shot down and recovered from Amritsar border alone. In addition to this, the BSF also confiscated 2.34 kg of suspected heroin dropped by these flying machines.

“In a remarkable achievement, alert BSF jawans recovered six Pakistani drones along with four packets of suspected heroin in the border area of Amritsar in multiple incidents last night,” revealed BSF authorities on X.

Sharing details, a BSF spokesman said on Thursday night, BSF troops on duty intercepted successive drone intrusions near the Pul Moran border out-post at Amritsar border.

“In a quick response, the technical counter measures deployed on border were activated, thereby neutralising these drones carrying narcotics,” said a BSF official, adding that subsequent search operations led to the recovery of four DJI Mavic 3 Classic drones along with three packets of suspected heroin with a gross weight of 1.744 kg from the farming fields near Pul Moran village.

Similarly, in another operation near Roranwala Khurd border village last night, vigilant BSF jawans seized a DJI Mavic 3 Classic drone along with one packet of heroin weighing around 596 gm. The drone crash-landed in the fields because of the technical interference of the counter drone measure.

Another DJI Mavic 3 Classic drone was intercepted and shot down in the early hours today in the vicinity of Dhanoe Kalan village.
