| [The News (Pak)] The Pakistain Army troops Wednesday shot down an Indian spy quadcopter in Rakhchikri Sector along the Line of Control (LoC), says the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) in a statement.The quadcopter intruded 650 meters on Pakistain’s side of the LoC. This is not the first time that India has unsuccessfully tried to spy on Pakistain with the help of quadcopters, as the Pakistain Army had also shot down an Indian quadcopter that intruded into Pakistain’s airspace along the Line of control on Thursday, April 9. The quadcopter was shot down after it intruded 600 meters inside Pakistain’s territory for conducting surveillance along the Line of Control (LoC). The Indian quadcopter entered the Sankh Sector along the LoC. The violation was aggressively responded to by the Pakistain Army troops by shooting down the quadcopter. "Such unwarranted acts by the Indian Army are a clear violation of established norms, existing air agreement between the two countries, and reflect Indian Army’s consistent disregard for the Ceasefire Understanding of 2003," said the ISPR in a statement. The Indian Army, however, rejected the claim saying the quadcopter was not theirs. Last year, the Pakistain Army had shot down three quadcopters. The first quadcopter was shot down on January 1, 2019 in Bagh Sector. A day later, India again tried to violate Pak borders in the Satwal sector, which was thwarted by the Pakistain Army. |
