In a unique attack of first-of-its-kind in India, two low-intensity improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were dropped from a drone at the Indian Air Force (IAF) base in Jammu, and they exploded “close to the helicopter hangar”, The Print has learnt.
The explosion did not cause any damage to any equipment, but two IAF personnel received “very minor” injuries.
The IAF said two “low-intensity explosions” were reported. “One caused minor damage to the roof of a building while the other exploded in an open area.”
It added that “there was no damage to any equipment. Investigation is in the process along with civil agencies”. The IAF did not mention the drones but did point out that the roof was damaged.
Sources said the spot of the explosion was much further from the outer perimeter wall of the airport and hence a grenade attack has been ruled out.
The sources said the first explosion occurred around 1.30 am.
An IAF patrolling team witnessed the explosive being dropping and rushed to the area. A second was dropped minutes later, which led to very minor injuries to two personnel, the sources said.
