India Today's access to the initial assessment report of the Jammu Air-Force blast suggests that the helicopters must be a possible target as the blasts took place near hangars. Earlier, the sources suggested that the explosives were dropped using low-flying drones.

Two explosions, within a gap of five minutes, rocked the technical area of Jammu airport in the early hours of Sunday. Confirming the incidents of the blast, the Indian Air Force tweeted that "One caused minor damage to the roof of a building while the other exploded in an open area. "
