@ians_india

In a search operation launched by the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) on 25 April 2025, two large packages were recovered near Bal Labe Darya village in Amritsar District, Punjab State. The packages contained two RCIEDs and RC BME, including two transmitters, a receiver, hand grenades, detonators, circuits and 4.8 kg of RDX. Additionally, various weapons and ammunition were seized. Authorities suspect that the packages were remotely delivered by UAV across the border. 

In a similar event, on 22 April 2025, two packages were found in Ballaharwal, Amritsar District, including one containing RC BME. Notably, the same transmitter with an on/off switch is seen in the images. These events follow reports of escalating tensions between Pakistan and India.

Since the start of April 2025, OSTD has recorded other events in India involving the recovery of RCIEDs and RC BME.  OverSite has also documented a large quantity of events involving drone cross-border smuggling in the region.
