RAWALPINDI: Director General Inter-Services PR (DG ISPR) Major General Babar Iftikhar Sunday said Pakistan Army troops shot down an Indian spying quadcopter in thermal spring Sector along the Line of Control (LoC).

In a tweet, he said the quadcopter had intruded 850 meters on Pakistan s side of the LoC. “This is that the 9th Indian quadcopter shot down by Pakistan Army troops this year,” he added.

India continued with its aggressive policy on the road of Control (LoC) because it once more violated the ceasefire agreement when its spy drone crossed over the LoC.

An ISPR statement said the drone was shot down within the thermal spring border village of Azad Kashmir. the newest development came a fortnight after India and China clashed along a special disputed border high within the Himalayas, leaving 20 Indian soldiers dead. Pakistan blames New Delhi for escalating tensions with China, a longtime friend of Islamabad.
