"All the drones are believed to have been neutralized using technical countermeasures during the operations," the post mentioned.
Earlier this month, the BSF recovered two drones from two locations based in the Amritsar border. The drones were recovered from the Dhanoe Khurd and Rattankund areas of Amritsar, the officials said.
The BSF said that both drones are presumed to have collapsed due to the activation of technical countermeasures deployed on the border. (ANI)
