An object in flight was discovered near Birpur in the Samba district of Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday at around 8:35 p.m. After an initial search, however, nothing was found.
This development comes after the drone attack on the Indian Air Force (IAF) base at Jammu Airport last week. Several drones were observed in Jammu over the next few days.
However, the samba police have denied that the flying object seen on Saturday was a drone.
Drones hover over Jammu
After two explosions five minutes apart struck IAF Jammu station on June 27, drones were spotted in the city five times. The last one was on Friday around 4:25 a.m. near the international border in the Arnia sector of Jammu.

The next day, drones were spotted again. This time in the Miran Sahib, Kaluchak and Kunjwani areas of Jammu.
