Jammu (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], July 5 : The investigation into the Jammu Air Force station attack case has revealed that drones used in carrying out the blast carried approximately 1.5 kilograms of RDX, according to sources.
The sources also said that either Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) or The Resistance Front (TRF) could be behind the drone attack.
The drones were operated through GPS and were handled manually by their handlers, said sources.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is investigating the Jammu Air Force station attack case.
The case relates to an explosion that occurred inside the premises of the Air Force Station, Satwari campus, Jammu on June 27 and a subsequent blast, after about six minutes carried out by drones in a well-planned conspiracy that led to the injury to two Air Force personnel and damaged the office buildings.
A special bomb squad team of the National Security Guard (NSG) is investigating the nature of the blast.
Meanwhile, the Indian Air Force (IAF) is taking all possible measures to ensure that such an incident is not repeated at other places and a high alert has been sounded at all stations.
Two low-intensity explosions were reported early Sunday morning in the technical area of Jammu Air Force Station.
One of the blasts caused minor damage to the roof of a building while the other exploded in an open area.
There was no damage to any equipment, the IAF said.
