The BSF troops discovered a black-coloured drone in the region that they later identified as a partially damaged Chinese-made DJI Matrice.
A thorough probe of the area is being conducted to see if the drone dropped any illegal items, the officer further informed.

The BSF, this month itself, has had many incidents wherein personnel shot down aerial drones and subsequently recovered ammunition, narcotics and arms.
