Three people of a family were injured in a Pakistani drone attack in Punjab’s Ferozepur tonight, the police said. They suffered burn injuries, and one of them is critical.
“We received information about three people being injured. They have burn injuries. Doctors will treat them. Most of the drones have been neutralised by the army,” Ferozepur police officer Bhupinder Singh Sidhu told news agency ANI.
Two of the three family members suffered minor burn injuries.
“Due to a drone bomb, three people got injured. Out of these, the condition of a woman is critical; she has suffered severe burns. The other two have minor burns. We have immediately started their treatment. They are from the same family,” a doctor who received the injured people at a local hospital said to local reporters.
Drones were sighted in the Jammu, Samba, and Pathankot sectors on Friday.
A precautionary blackout has been enforced in many areas near the border.
The government said this during Friday’s briefing.
Earlier, the Indian Defence Ministry said that Pakistan launched 300–400 drones at 36 locations on Thursday, with several shot down by Indian forces.
