| [DAWN] Pakistain Army said Friday evening they had shot down an 'Indian' quadcopter they suspected of 'spying' on the Rakhchikri sector of Azad Jammu and Kashmire. From the pictures tweeted by the director general of Inter-Services Public Relations, the army's media wing, it seemed that the quadcopter being used was of the commercially available variety of drones. The army said it had seized the wreckage, likely for analysis purposes. The story followed the Foreign Office's (FO) weekly briefing earlier in the day, in which the FO spokesperson had criticised US plans to sell drones to India as part of a military deal. FO Spokesman Nafees Zakaria said the balance of power in the region would be disrupted because of the deal, and that providing sensitive military technology to India was akin to incitement of its 'misadventures'. |
