What India’s army chief has mentioned on recent drone sighting at LoC?

“These, I believe, were defensive drones, which were trying to see if any action was being taken against us. It’s possible they also wanted to see if there were any gaps, any laxity in the Indian Army, any gaps through which they could send terrorists,” General Dwivedi remarked.

“They must have seen that as of currently, there is no such place, no such gap from where they can send them [terrorist],” General Dwivedi added.

“But this is certain: we had a DGMO (Director General of Military Operations) talk presently. This matter was discussed in that talk, and they were told that this is unacceptable to us, and please control. This has been conveyed to them…,” he remarked on the India-Pakistan tensions.

Pakistani drones spotted along India-Pakistan border

Notably, Pakistani drones were spotted along India-Pakistan border earlier this week.

Gen Dwivedi said the operation was India’s calibrated and resolute response to cross-border terrorism, demonstrating readiness, precision, and strategic clarity. He also declared that the Indian Army had mobilised its troops and was ready for ground offensives.

“The situation along the northern front remains stable, but needs constant vigil. Renewed contact, and confidence-building measures are contributing to the gradual normalisation of the situation,” he reported.
