A team of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) reached the Air Force Station Jammu on Sunday while all flight operations took place normally from Jammu airport except for two earlier flights which were cancelled due to operational reasons.
In the wake of two explosions that occurred at the Air Force Station here, a team of the NIA reached the spot where some damage was caused to the concrete structures at the Air Force Station.
As a result of the explosions, one person was injured after being likely hit by a splinter. It is being said that the explosions were so powerful that it was heard till a distance of around a kilometre from the site.
It is yet to be established whether drones were used to drop low-intensity bombs at the Air Force station.
Meanwhile, Additional Director General Police (ADG) Jammu, Mukesh Singh told reporters that the police have arrested a militant near a mall in the jurisdiction of the Trikuta Nagar police station from whose possession an IED weighing 5 Kgs has been recovered.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
