Pakistan’s ANF arrests 10 suspects in drug smuggling operations
The Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) of Pakistan arrested 10 individuals involved in drug smuggling in operations across the country, said a statement.
The Indian Army on Friday morning opened fire to bring down Pakistani quadcopters that had entered the Indian airspace and were hovering simultaneously at two sensitive places along the Line of Control (LOC) in the Poonch district of Jammu division.
However, these quadcopters flew back to the Pakistan-occupied J&K after briefly hovering at Balnoi in Mendhar and Gulpur Sectors, officials said.
These quadcopters (a type of helicopter or multicopter that has four rotors) were noticed hovering between 6.30 am to 7 am.

A massive search operation has been launched at both places to ensure there were no weapons or drugs dropping by these quadcopters. Pakistani agencies have been using quadcopters to drop weapons, drugs, IEDs and Indian currency for terrorists along the LoC and the International Border.
Official statement from the Army is awaited.
Poonch and Rajouri districts along the LoC have become drugs smuggling routes to Punjab and the money was being used for terror funding, sources said and added that several drug smugglers of Punjab have been nabbed in the area during the past.
