Drones Take Afghanistan Drugs to India, Officials Claim 

Indian border security is grappling with an unprecedented “drone menace” infiltrating the border with Pakistan, carrying consignments of opium and heroin believed to be coming from Afghanistan.

According to the Guardian, Indian border security intercepted 90 drones in Punjab in 2023, marking a record high, with the reported numbers increasing every month. “Most carried consignments of opium and heroin, likely to have come from Afghanistan, but some have dropped weapons, including pistols and Chinese-made assault rifles,” Indian border officials told the Guardian.
