Prime Minister Narendra Modi presided over a high-level meeting with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and NSA Ajit Doval on Tuesday, 29 June, to discuss futuristic defence challenges and deliberate over arming the Indian defence forces with modern equipment, ANI reported sources as saying.
The meeting came three days after two drone attacks in the technical area of the Jammu Air Force Station.
According to a report by NDTV, the Jammu incident and events that followed were also discussed at the meeting on Tuesday.
In the attacks, which ocurred during the early hours of Sunday, two Air Force personnel suffered minor injuries, and one blast had caused minor damage to the roof of a building.
Hours after the attacks, DGP Dilbag Singh also said that in another incident, an improvised explosive device (IED) weighing 5-6 kg was recovered by the Jammu police.
He said this had been received by a Lashkar-e-Taiba outfit operative and was to be planted at some crowded place.
Singh added that Lashkar could also be behind the drones spotted near the Kaluchak military facility on Monday.
