Jammu blast: Drones dropped explosives and returned

June 28, 2021 19:44

While investigating the Jammu airbase attack, it has emerged that the drones which were used to carry out the hit, dropped the explosives and were moved out from the area by their handlers, sources said on Monday.

In investigations at the attack site, the investigators have not yet been able to find parts of any drone, sources said.

This suggests that the drones used to carry out the attack dropped the explosives over the airbase and were navigated away from the area by their handlers, they said.

Multiple agencies including the National Investigation Agency, the National Security Guards along with the local police and Air Force authorities have been looking into the first of its kind terror attack in the country which has not caused any major damage to the equipment or personnel but had the potential of causing heavy damage to the infrastructure there.

The investigators are also probing the possibility of drones having been launched from nearby locations in Jammu even as drones were seen hovering close to the Army facilities in Jammu.

The Indian Air Force is taking all possible measures to ensure that such an incident is not repeated at other places and a high alert has been sounded at all stations. -- ANI
