Agartala (Tripura) [India], August 1 (ANI): A suspicious drone was recovered earlier on Friday near the border area of Agartala, triggering security concerns in the region. In a telephonic conversation with ANI, Dr Kiran Kumar K, Superintendent of Police, West Tripura district, confirmed the incident.
The drone, equipped with a high-resolution camera, had the marking Made in China visibly inscribed on it. Its presence near the sensitive international border zone has prompted swift action from multiple security agencies.
