This morning, an incident happened in the Srikakulam District, where a fisherman trapped a flight-shaped drone in his net near the coast of Bhavanapadu. The trapped drone had the words “Banshee” and “Target” stickered on it and was spotted floating on the beach, according to the fisherman who trapped it. Upon bringing it to the shore, the locals alerted the marine police, who are currently trying to trace its origins.
