An arms consignment was recovered near the International Border in Samba district, Jammu and Kashmir. Officials said the weapons were dropped by a drone from Pakistan. The recovery included two pistols, three magazines, 16 rounds, and one grenade. This happened amid tight security to stop any terrorist attempts during Republic Day. A joint team of the Border Security Force (BSF) and Special Operations Group (SOG) of J&K Police began a search in Paloora village, Ghagwal, late on January 9, 2026. They acted after getting information on drone activity across the border. Searchers found a packet wrapped in yellow tape by a stream. They opened it with the help of a bomb disposal squad and found the arms inside. Officials said the operation was still ongoing as reports came in.
