On Monday at 8:56 p.m., when it was hovering above the town of Kalia, the soldiers heard the sound of a drone coming from Pakistan. According to the officials, 2.47 kg of heroin packaged in a yellow polythene were found after the military shot in that direction.

A metal ring intended for the consignment’s release from the drone was also discovered attached to it, an official reported.
