Punjab police recovered a cache of weapons and two drones hidden in fields near Attari Stadium during a cross‑border smuggling operation.
Punjab law enforcement carried out a search operation in agricultural fields close to Attari Stadium, a location that lies near the India‑Pakistan border. The sweep was part of a broader effort to intercept illicit material believed to have entered the country via unmanned aerial vehicles.
During the raid, officers uncovered a concealed stock of firearms and ammunition, along with two drones that were reportedly used to transport the contraband across the frontier. The weapons cache had been hidden in the fields, indicating a coordinated attempt to smuggle arms into the region.
Officials said the seizure underscores the growing challenge of cross‑border drone smuggling and affirmed that investigations are underway to trace the source and any potential networks involved.
