On June 30, 2020, the BSF shot down a spy drone in Kathua district of Jammu and Kashmir. Also seized were weapons and explosives. On September 12 last year, Jammu and Kashmir police arrested three Lashkar-e-Toiba militants who had supplied arms to Pakistan via drones the night before. On September 9, 2020, the Jammu and Kashmir Police seized weapons delivered through a drone in the Akhnoor sector. In December 2020, Punjab police seized eight hand grenades near the Pakistan border in Gurdaspur district, said to have been destroyed by a Pakistani drone.
