The military maintains that the ‘spy drones’ are used for aerial photography and visuals.
This isn’t the first time that the army shot down a spy quadcopter. In March last year, troops shot down an Indian drone which had intruded into the Chirikot sector in Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
In November 2016, Army shot down a drone camera after it intruded some 60 metres into the Pakistani side of the Line of Control.
Similarly, in 2015, Pakistan Army shot down an Indian spy drone after it intruded into Pakistani territory near Bhimber sector along the Line of Control.
