Jammu, 24 August (H.S.): A suspicious aeroplane-shaped balloon with Pakistan International Airlines’ logo on it was found on Sunday in Jammu and Kashmir’s Jammu city.

Officials said that the white and saffron-coloured Pakistani balloon was found in the Nai Basti area of Jammu and had ‘PIA’ written on it in green colour.

Balloons released into the air from the Pakistani side across the international border have periodically been found in Jammu, Kathua and Samba districts close to the border.

Sometimes, such suspicious objects have also been found near the Line of Control (LoC) in Rajouri and Poonch districts.
