Pakistan Army effectively responded to the aggressive act by shooting down the Indian quadcopter. The violations come amid continued ceasefire violations by Indian troops along the LoC.
In April, the army had also violated the Pakistani airspace in Sankh Sector along the LoC when a spy drone had also been shot down.
