Pakistan drones surface yet again in Kashmir; Blackout declared in Samba and Rajouri

NEW DELHI: Pakistani drones surfaced in Jammu yet again, flouting the ceasefire pact agreed between the two nations. Footage of Indian air defence systems shooting down Pakistani drones has also emerged. A blackout has been declared in Samba district and Rajouri today following the sighting of drones.

Blackout has also been declared in Hoshiarpur and Amritsar in Punjab. The blackout was announced here based on unconfirmed reports of the presence of drones in these places while special protection has been given to Golden Temple. Today, in the discussion held by the DGMOs of both countries, it was decided to strictly implement the ceasefire.

The drones from Pakistan were first reported barely hours after PM Modi delivered a strong message against terrorism to the nation. However, the Army has hitherto not confirmed the presence of drones in Kashmir.
