Pakistan and India maintain tight security along their borders, ensuring that not even a bird can cross the line.

However, this time it wasn’t a bird but an aircraft that entered India without permission, causing quite a commotion.

A plane-like balloon from Pakistan landed in the Indian state of Rajasthan, prompting a flurry of activity among local authorities.

Residents quickly alerted the police and border security forces upon spotting the balloon, leading the police to seal off the area and conduct a thorough search.

It turned out to be a balloon designed to resemble a plane, prominently featuring green and white colors, similar to those of Pakistan International Airlines.

When the balloon landed in the Bikaner area, local police sprang into action, confiscating it and later declaring it harmless, stating that there were no explosives or devices on board.
