Pakistan Army shoots down Indian spy drone in AJK

MUZAFFARABAD: The Pakistan Army has shot down an Indian spy drone that intruded into Pakistani airspace in the Chhamb sector of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK).

The drone, reportedly carrying sophisticated surveillance equipment, tried to gather intelligence along the heavily militarized border but was quickly intercepted and neutralized by alert Pakistani troops.

The Pakistan Army has issued a stern warning, declaring that any future provocation will be “befittingly responded to.” “Every act of aggression will be met with a decisive response. Our borders will be defended at all costs,” the officials said.

The latest incident adds to tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbors, who often accuse each other of ceasefire violations and cross-border espionage.

Indian authorities have yet to react, while Pakistan has reiterated its resolve to protect its territory and sovereignty against any intrusion.
