A flying object was seen near Birpur in Samba district, Jammu and Kashmir, at around 8.35 p.m. on Saturday. A search operation was conducted, but nothing was located. The attack on the Jammu airport base of the Indian Air Force (IAF) last week also comes in the wake of the drone strike. There have been several drone sightings in Jammu over the following couple of days. Nevertheless, the Samba Police has denied that the object seen on Saturday was a drone.
