India reported 791 drone intrusions along the International Border in 2025, mostly in Punjab and Rajasthan. Security forces grounded 237 drones using jammers. Jammu and Kashmir remains stable, while infiltration attempts rose after Operation Sindoor and brief India-Pakistan tensions.
A total of 791 drone intrusion incidents were reported along the International Border (IB) during 2025. Of these, nine incidents were recorded along the International Border in Jammu and Kashmir and 782 along the International Border in Punjab and Rajasthan, the Ministry of Defence said on Wednesday.
The Ministry said that the use of their spoofers and jammers effectively reduced the drone threat in the West. A total of 237 drones were grounded by Indian security forces in the ongoing year. This includes five drones laden with explosives, 72 drones carrying narcotics, and 161 with no cargo.
The Ministry again reiterated that a total of 791 cases of drone intrusions had been reported this year, with most such incidents being seen in the areas surrounding both the states of Punjab and Rajasthan. According to the Ministry of Defense, the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir remains under complete control due to the continued efforts of the Indian Army. The Ministry stated that people are choosing the path of development and are actively participating in large numbers in various initiatives launched by the government and the Army. From a nationwide perspective, the level of violence has decreased, protests have decreased, and there have been no incidents of stone-pelting.
