Rajouri/Jammu, May 12: Army troops opened fire on a suspected Pakistani drone near the Line of Control (LoC) in Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir, officials said on Sunday.

A thorough search of the area was conducted but nothing suspicious was found on the ground, they said, adding the anti-national elements are using drones to drop weapons and narcotics but the security forces are fully alert to frustrate their designs.
