In a related occurrence, around the same time, security guards found another suspicious item in Lasjan, which is outside of Srinagar. It has also been forwarded for examination.
Although Dal Lake, a popular tourist destination, was momentarily blocked to civilian traffic until normalcy was restored, there were no recorded injuries or property damage in either occasion.
Security authorities said the instances are being looked at in light of an increase in cross-border conflicts, but they have not established the precise nature or origin of the items. An official stated, “We are not ruling out anything given the context of recent drone threats and attempted strikes.”
Security forces successfully stopped drone strikes on Friday night that were aimed at the Awantipora air base in south Kashmir and Srinagar airport, according to authorities. These attempted assaults occurred the day after Indian soldiers allegedly stopped Pakistani military attempts to use drones and missiles to target Indian military sites.
