Pakistani Drones Cross LoC in Rajouri's Nowshera Sector, Army Foils Infiltration Bid

Three suspected Pakistani drones crossed the Line of Control into the Rumlidhara area of the Nowshera sector, Rajouri district, late on the night of August 27-28, 2026; alert Indian Army troops opened fire, forcing the drones to retreat toward Pakistan. A search operation was launched to check for any dropped contraband, arms or narcotics; none had been recovered by evening. Separately on August 28, soldiers in the same general area noticed suspicious movement of a suspected infiltrator along the LoC; the intruder opened fire when challenged, troops retaliated, and the individual is believed to be hiding in the area as a large-scale search operation continues with senior officers monitoring. No casualties were reported in either incident.
