11 hand grenades reportedly dropped by a drone from Pakistan were recovered by Border Security Force (BSF) troopers from a sugarcane field near the International Border (IB) at Silach village in Gurdaspur District of Punjab on December 20, reports The Tribune. Rajesh Sharma, Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), BSF, said the troopers on hearing the buzzing sound of a drone in the late night of December 19 near Chakri outpost, fired multiple shots towards the source. The Police authorities were alerted and a joint search operation was initiated leading to the recovery of the grenades on the following day. The 11 grenades of Arges-type HG-84 were placed in a neatly packed wooden box. The drone, however, was not recovered and it is suspected that it managed to fly back to Pakistan after dropping the payload.
