Army shoots down another Indian spy drone along LoC
The Pakistan Army on Wednesday shot down another Indian spy drone. It was the second drone shot down along the restive Line of Control within a span of two days.
“Pakistan Army troops shot down another Indian spy quadcopter. Today in Satwal Sector on Line of Control,” Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor announced in a tweet. He also posted a picture of the spy drone.
On Tuesday, the ISPR DG had tweeted that army troops had shot down an Indian spy quadcopter in Bagh sector along the LoC. “Not even a quadcopter will be allowed to cross [the] LoC, In Shaa Allah,” he said.
About two years ago, the Indian government had claimed that its army commandos had carried out surgical strikes in AJK, days after an attack on an army base in Uri in held Kashmir had left 20 Indian soldiers dead. Pakistan had rejected the claim.
According to media reports, the Indian military uses quadcopter for aerial photography of Pakistani posts along the LoC as part of its intelligence-gathering operations and target selection before carrying out cross-LoC shelling.
