May 9, 2025 | TrendBlast Desk – Tensions flared again at the India-Pakistan border as multiple Pakistani drones were spotted over Jammu, Samba, and Pathankot late Thursday night. Security sources confirm that Indian forces responded swiftly, opening fire and launching search operations to secure the area.
Drone Alert: Indian Forces Respond Instantly
The Border Security Force (BSF) detected aerial movement originating from the Pakistani side. Several drones entered Indian airspace in Samba district (J&K) and Pathankot (Punjab), raising red flags across the northern command.
“Troops fired nearly 25 rounds to repel the drone threat. Intensive search operations are ongoing to ensure no payloads were dropped,” said a senior BSF official.So far, no suspicious materials have been recovered, but vigilance is at an all-time high.
What’s Fueling the Drone Surge?
These incursions come amid soaring tensions between India and Pakistan, following recent alleged missile and drone attacks by Pakistan on Indian military installations. While India thwarted those threats, security forces remain on edge — especially in border-adjacent zones like Samba, Jammu, and Pathankot.Drone use by Pakistan has been linked to arms drops, narco-terrorism, and surveillance, making it one of the top emerging threats in India’s border defense strategy.
Surveillance Boosted Across Punjab-Jammu Border
In response, BSF has significantly beefed up border surveillance:
Additional battalions deployed
High-tech CCTV grids installed
Anti-drone radars activated
Civilians advised to stay alert.
Pathankot, a known target since the 2016 attack on the airbase, is under tght monitoring with 24×7 aerial and ground patrols.
India’s Firm Warning to Pakistan
The Indian government has strongly condemned the airspace violations and has demanded Pakistan take immediate steps to halt such aggressive tactics.Meanwhile, India is reportedly evaluating enhanced counter-drone protocols, and possible cross-border retaliation is not being ruled out, according to defense analysts.—
TrendBlast Takeaway
The repeated Pakistani drone sightings are no longer isolated events — they’re a clear escalation. With the possibility of smuggled arms, surveillance missions, or worse, India’s border security is preparing for all scenarios. Expect stricter monitoring and zero-tolerance retaliation from Indian defense forces.
