While carrying out a search on the Tarn Taran border, vigilant BSF troops recovered one plastic bottle containing the slide assembly of a pistol near Naushera Dhalla village of Tarn Taran. The bottle was wrapped in yellow adhesive tape with a metal wire loop attached, indicating a drone drop.

On Tuesday morning, while tracking a suspected drone movement, the BSF troops successfully seized one packet containing 75 live rounds of 9 mm calibre from a farming field adjacent to village Rajoke in Tarn Taran.

The ammunition had stamps of the Pakistan Ordnance Factory, confirming the involvement of Pakistan-sponsored elements planning terror activities on Indian soil. (ANI)
