The BSF opened fire at a Pakistani drone after spotting it near the International Border (IB) in the Kanachak sector of Jammu, a senior officer said on Saturday.

A blinking red light was observed by the troops coming from Pakistan side in the Kanachak area around 9.30 pm on Friday, he said.

The troops launched a search operation in the area, which is still under way, he said. Earlier, the police had busted three Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) modules, arresting seven of its members and recovering huge cache of arms, ammunition and explosive material reportedly dropped by 20 drone sorties from Pakistan.

Reportedly, the LeT had set up three terror modules in Jammu and Rajouri districts to collect and transport weapons dropped by drone in border areas of Jammu, Samba, Kathua and Rajouri districts to terrorists in Kashmir.
