Drone shot down by Army

Srinagar, October 24

A surveillance drone of Chinese make was on Saturday shot down by Army troops shortly after it crossed into this side of the LoC in Kupwara district, officials said. The DJI Mavic 2 Pro drone, fitted with cameras, was spotted hovering in air by the alert troops in the Keran sector and subsequently shot down, the officials said. They said the drone was seized and further investigation was on. There has been a spurt in the use of drones from the Pakistani side over the past few months to smuggle arms and narcotics. — PTI
