Officials said that in the last 4 days, some more incidents of soldiers hearing the sound of drone flying have also come to the fore, but nothing could be ascertained in it.
That’s why more drones started coming from Pakistan

A BSF spokesperson had said that since the third drone had fallen in Pakistani territory, it could not be recovered. Security forces also shot down a drone in the Amritsar sector on Saturday night and recovered 3.3 kg of suspected drugs being transported through it. Due to being a cheap and less dangerous method, there has been a significant increase in the incidents of smuggling through drones from Pakistan.
