Pakistan on Saturday said it has shot down an Indian drone near the Line of Control.
Lt Gen Asim Bajwa, chief of the Pakistani military's media wing Inter-Services Public Relations, tweeted that an "Indian quadcopter" was shot down at 4.45 pm (Pakistan time), by troops at Aagahi post in Rakhchakri sector.
He said the quadcopter had violated Pakistani airspace and came 60 metres inside the country’s territory, after which it was targeted by Pakistani troops.
Bajwa said that it fell near the Agahi post and was picked up by Pakistani soldiers.
Last year in July, the Pakistan military claimed to have shot down an Indian "spy drone" which violated the Pakistan air space along the LoC in Bhimber in PoK.
On Friday, Pakistan alleged its navy had chased away an Indian submarine that had neared its territorial waters, a claim that India rejected.
