Army shoots down Indian drone violating Pak airspace

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Army on Thursday shot down an Indian quadcopter violating Pakistani airspace in the Sankh sector along the Line of Control (LoC), the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a press release.

“In this provocative act, Indian quadcopter intruded 600 metres inside Pakistan’s territory for conducting surveillance,” the statement said. “This blatant act was aggressively responded by Pakistan Army troops and (the quadcopter) was shot down.”

The Indian army is persistently violating the ceasefire agreement between the two countries, it added. “Such unwarranted acts by Indian Army are clear violation of established norms, existing Air Agreement between the two countries and reflect Indian Army’s consistent disregard to Ceasefire Understanding of 2003.”
