Recent intelligence reports, including an exclusive by News18, indicate that Pakistan-backed terror organizations such as Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Khalistani extremist groups are actively acquiring aerial assets, including paragliders and related equipment. This development has escalated concerns regarding India's border security, particularly along the Line of Control (LoC) and International Border (IB) in Jammu & Kashmir and Punjab, where drone sightings have become increasingly frequent. Multiple credible news sources from January 11-15, 2026, corroborate a surge in suspected Pakistani drone activity across various sectors of Jammu & Kashmir, including Poonch, Samba, and Rajouri. These drones are often seen hovering over Indian territory, prompting swift responses from the Indian Army, which has engaged them with anti-Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) measures and launched extensive search operations. The objective of these incursions is suspected to be reconnaissance, as well as the airdropping of weapons, ammunition, explosives, and narcotics to facilitate terror activities in India. Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi has acknowledged these frequent UAV sightings, stating that India has put Pakistan "on notice" and conveyed that such activities are "not acceptable" during military-to-military talks. The continuous nature of these drone movements, often occurring multiple times within days, signifies a persistent threat. This new modus operandi, involving aerial assets, has been evolving over recent years, with previous reports from 2020 and 2022 highlighting the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and its proxies, including Khalistani and LeT outfits, using drones to smuggle arms and drugs across the border into both Jammu & Kashmir and Punjab. The heightened activity necessitates a multi-agency, comprehensive counter-measure strategy to address these evolving aerial threats effectively.
