Khemkaran (Tarn Taran), July 19: In yet another act of vigilance along the Indo-Pak border, the Border Security Force (BSF) today intercepted and recovered a Pakistani drone near village Khemkaran in Punjab’s Tarn Taran district.
Alert troops of the BSF picked up the movement of a rogue drone attempting to infiltrate Indian airspace. The swift detection triggered an immediate search operation, following which a DJI Mavic 3 Classic drone was located and recovered from a paddy field ahead of the border fence.
Officials confirmed that the drone was recovered intact and did not appear to be carrying any payload, though a thorough forensic and technical examination is underway to determine its origin and mission.
“This successful interception reaffirms the BSF’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding our borders. Our alert bordermen once again foiled an illicit cross-border attempt, ensuring national security is never compromised,” said a senior BSF official.
Tarn Taran has seen repeated drone-based intrusions from across the border, often linked to arms or narcotics smuggling. Security agencies remain on high alert amid rising use of drones by Pakistan-based operatives for cross-border mischief.
