These include armed drones suspected of posing a potential threat to civilians and military targets, the ministry added.
These locations include Baramulla, Srinagar, Avantipora, Nagrota, Jammu, Ferozpur, Pathankot, Fazilka, Lalgarh Jatta, Jaisalmer, Jaisalmer, Barmer, Bhuj, Bhuj, Kuarbet and Lakhi Nala.
