Pakistan army shoots down Indian spy drone

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Army on Thursday shot down an Indian spy drone in Sankh Sector along the Line of Control (LoC) for violating airspace.

Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) in a statement confirmed that a drone entered six metres into Pakistani airspace for spying. The army troops responded aggressively to this blatant act by shooting down the Indian spy drone.

The military wing stated that such kinds of moves from Indian authorities are open violations of peace agreements held between two countries. It reflects the Indian Army’s consistent disregard for Ceasefire Understanding of 2003, the wing added.

On Tuesday, seven terrorists were killed in two separate Intelligence-based operations (IBOs) conducted by security forces in North Waziristan and Mohmand.
