People living around the Indian Air Force station in Jammu woke up to the deafening sounds of explosions on Sunday as drones, operated by Pakistan-based terrorists, dropped two bombs at the station.

Local told PTI that they woke up to deafening sounds, which shocked them.

This is the first time that Pakistan-based terrorists had used these unmanned and remote-controlled vehicles to strike a vital installation.

It was not immediately clear from where the drones had taken off and investigations were on to ascertain their flight path, officials said.

The drones dropped the explosive material and were either flown back across the border or to some other destination during the night, the officials said.

The aerial distance from the Jammu airport to the international border with Pakistan is 14 km.
