"poonch-sector"

A drone was observed along the LoC in Poonch, prompting security forces to open fire. Drones are used by terror outfits to transport arms, cash, and drugs, and the army and BSF have deployed anti-drone measures to prevent cross-border smuggling.

The IAF soldier's sister, Geeta Pahade, who is a sub-inspector, said she learned about the incident on Saturday night and was proud of her brother.
