February 28, a balloon-like drone whizzing around in the skies of Rajasthan's Bikaner added to the fuelling tension along the border. The suspected red-coloured airborne device was seen at the border areas near Santosh Nagar village in Rajasthan's Bikaner district. After hovering around for some 10 minutes, the mysterious drone went back to the international border of India and Pakistan.

Meanwhile, the villagers who suspected that the object might have come from the border, have informed the security agencies and police about the movement. Moreover, the 'War Museum' situated in the military station of the Jaisalmer headquarters has also been closed following the high alert issued at Indo-Pak international border.
