A swarm of drones was spotted in Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab on Friday evening, said the sources in the Army, adding that they are being engaged.
Drones were sighted in Jammu, Samba (in J&K), Pathnakot and Ferozepur (in Punjab). Multiple explosions have also been heard in the region.
Jammu city plunged into darkness after blasts were heard in the region and alarms sounded, officials said.
The blasts come amid ongoing shelling by Pakistan following India's strike on terror hideouts in the country earlier this week as part of Operation Sindoor.
"Intermittent sounds of blasts, probably heavy artillery, can now be heard from where I am," Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said in a post on X.

"It's my earnest appeal to everyone in & around Jammu please stay off the streets, stay at home or at the nearest place you can comfortably stay at for the next few hours. Ignore rumours, don't spread unsubstantiated or unverified stories & we will get through this together," the Chief Minister added.
