Indian spy drone shot down along LoC: ISPR

28 May, 2020

Pakistan Army troops on Wednesday shot down an Indian spy drone close to the restive Line of Control (LoC) in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK).
In a tweet, Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Babar Iftikhar, said: "Pakistan Army troops shot down an Indian spying quadcopter in Rakhchikri sector along LoC. The quadcopter had intruded 650 meters on Pakistan's side of the LoC".
In a similar incident last month, an Indian quadcopter was shot down by Pakistani troops after it violated Pakistan's airspace in Sankh District.
In March last year, the Pakistan Army had shot down a spying quadcopter in Rakhchikri sector after it intruded some 150 metres into Pakistan airspace.
That incident had come weeks after tensions between the two sides escalated after Pakistan had shot down two Indian Air Force (IAF) planes that violated Pakistan airspace.
