"This year, on 18th May 2025, BSF successfully crossed a significant landmark of recovering the 100th Pakistani drone including 111 kgs of heroin, 60 weapons, 14 hand grenades and more than 10 Kgs of high explosives from entering into Indian territory," the force, which is deployed along the Indo-Pak border said.
