NEW DELHI: Investigators began probing a suspected drone strike on an air base in India-occupied Jammu on Sunday, with experts saying such an attack would be a first such test for New Delhi and raise concerns about security at military installations.
“Two low-intensity explosions were reported early on Sunday morning in the technical area of Jammu air force station. One caused minor damage to the roof of a building while the other exploded in an open area,” the Indian Air Force tweeted.
“There was no damage to any equipment. Investigation is in progress along with civil agencies.”
Dilbagh Singh, the police chief of India-occupied Kashmir, said in a statement that a “drone with payload” was suspected to have been used to “drop the explosive material”.
