target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jammu and Kashmir<\/a> have been put on high alert after fresh aerial activity originating from across the border was detected in the Rajouri sector.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"3\"\/>According to inputs from Army sources cited by news agency ANI, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) from Pakistan was detected at around 8:05 pm on Friday.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>The drone was spotted hovering over the general area of Behrooti, which falls under the operational area of responsibility of the 22 Jammu and Kashmir Rifles (22 JAK RIF).<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2><b>Drone tracked towards Mangalnar-Dabrote axis<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>Military personnel tracked the UAV as it manoeuvred towards the Mangalnar-Dabrote axis.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>Alert troops immediately logged the intrusion, following which the entire forward sector was placed under tight aerial and ground surveillance.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Security forces have also intensified search operations in adjoining forward areas to check for any possible dropping of contraband or arms.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Monitoring along the border remains active, and further official updates are awaited.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2><b>Similar drone sightings reported along border<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>The latest incident comes amid heightened security concerns along the India-Pakistan border and follows other suspected drone sightings reported in Jammu and Kashmir in recent weeks.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>Earlier this month, security forces launched a search operation after a suspected Pakistani drone was spotted over forward villages along the International Border in Jammu and Kashmir&#8217;s Kathua district.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>The BSF and Jammu and Kashmir Police conducted searches to ensure that no weapons, explosives or other material had been dropped.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>A suspected Pakistani drone was also spotted in Rajouri&#8217;s Sunderbani sector last month, after which security forces carried out a search operation but found nothing suspicious.<\/p>\n<div data-type=\"in_view\" class=\"  \">\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div

Balakote sector of Poonch, forcing it to retreat towards Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>Notably, the latest incident also comes days after an unusual increase in Turkish military transport flights to Pakistan raised concerns in Indian defence circles.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/>Open-source flight trackers recorded a surge in Turkish C-130 Hercules and A400M aircraft flights between August 19 and 21, with the planes landing at Pakistani air bases, including Nur Khan, Masroor and Murid.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"39\"\/>There was speculation in defence circles that the flights may have carried military hardware, including unmanned aerial systems and air-defence equipment, although neither Pakistan nor Turkey officially confirmed the nature or cargo of the operations.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"41\"\/>The latest Rajouri incident comes as security forces continue to maintain heightened surveillance along forward areas of Jammu and Kashmir.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
