Two drones overflying the IAF station at Jammu – located only 14 km away from the India Pakistan border, dropped a kilogram each of payload and flew back unscathed is not an ordinary event. One bomb landed on the administrative building, not far away from a helicopter hangar and the other exploded in the lawns. Two personnel – Arvind Singh and SK Singh survived with mild injuries. Given the crucial nature of the attack, the case was quickly handed over to NIA as NSG also joined the investigations. Police believe it was a terror attack. Delhi raised the issue at the United Nations and Pakistan rejected its involvement.
