The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has taken over the probe into what could be the first-ever drone attack on any Indian military facility after two explosions at Jammu Air Force station early this morning.
Two Indian Air Force personnel are reported to have suffered minor injuries in the blasts that took place a little before 2 AM. The two blasts, at 1.37 am and 1.43 am, were heard a km away, according to reports.
Top military sources say this is being treated as a serious incident. The Jammu & Kashmir Police has filed an FIR under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. Jammu and Kashmir police chief Dilbag Singh has called it a "terror attack".
Jammu airport - located around 16 km from the border with Pakistan - is a dual-use facility under IAF control and is also used to operate passenger flights. Jammu Airport director Pravat Ranjan Beuria told PTI there was no disruption in flights.
