The Pakistani military says it has shot down an Indian reconnaissance drone that had violated Pakistan’s airspace in the disputed Kashmir region.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Pakistani military said it had shot down the unmanned aerial vehicle in the village of Chirikot as it was spying on Indian-controlled Kashmir along the border with Pakistan known as the Line of Control.
The wreckage of the reconnaissance drone has been retrieved, the statement said.
There was no immediate reaction from India.
The Pakistani military said it had targeted four Indian drones over the past year.
