The Border Security Force added that the area was being searched with the help of the police.
Earlier in June this year, two drones were used to carry out an attack on an Air Force base in Jammu.
After the Jammu attack, the number of drone sightings has gone up drastically and there have been several instances where the Army and BSF troops at the border have fired at them.
It comes days after three Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists were killed by security forces following a brief encounter in the forests of Jammu and Kashmir's Tral.
