Meghalaya police inform BSF of UAV sightings along India-Bangladesh border

Hindustan Times  

The Meghalaya police have informed the Border Security Force about the sightings of Bayraktar TB2 unmanned aerial vehicles near Sohra and Shella in the state’s East Khasi Hills district close to the India-Bangladesh border, which have sparked security concerns amid tensions in the neighbouring country. While no follow-up actions have been officially disclosed, a senior BSF official familiar with the matter indicated that the UAV’s deployment could be an attempt by Bangladesh to flex its strength domestically amid the unrest. “Such actions often serve to rally internal support rather than pose a direct security threat to neighbors,” the BSF official noted. The Bayraktar’s proximity to Indian territory underscores the growing reliance on UAVs in modern-day border surveillance.
