An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), deployed for surveillance, crashed at the airfield in Jammu, leaving a soldier injured, officials said.

The incident occurred when the UAV was landing at the airfield after carrying out a routine sortie, they said, adding that the injured soldier has been hospitalised. The UAV hit a tower inside the area and crashed to the ground on Thursday night, they said.

The technical airport is part of the Jammu airport, designated for operations of the IAF’s chopper unit.

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).
