Blast at IAF base in Jammu: Two drones dropped 2 kg ‘high grade’ IEDs from 100 m height, flew back

Payloads of more than 2 kg each in improvised explosive devices (IEDs) fitted with impact charges were dropped on the Indian Air Force Station in Jammu on Saturday night, preliminary investigations have revealed.

Sources in the security establishment said there is evidence that two drones were used in the terrorist attack, and that a “high grade” explosive was used.

“The sentry at the base heard two separate whirring sounds followed by two blasts at an interval of six minutes. No remains of drones were found at the site, so it is suspected that they dropped their payload and went back,” a security establishment officer told The Indian Express.
