India's Border Guard Force Shoots Down Pakistani Drone in Punjab's Gurdaspur
06:12 GMT 14.10.2022 (Updated: 05:54 GMT 16.07.2023) Since 2021, Pakistan has violated Indian airspace on several occasions, sending drones across the international border, especially in Punjab and J& K, according to the Indian Army. Last year, two explosive-laden drones attacked an Indian Air Force base in Jammu city - the 1st instance when a UAV was used to attack a military area in India.
India's Border Security Force (BSF) shot down a Pakistani drone that flew inside Indian territory in the Gurdaspur district of Punjab on Friday morning.
According to BSF DIG, Gurdaspur, Prabhakar Joshi, the drone was shot down at around 4.35 am after troops patrolling the international border in Punjab found it had violated Indian airspace.
"Brave jawans (soldiers) of the BSF spotted a drone coming from Pakistan side. As soon as it entered India, jawans (troops) fired 17 rounds of bullets at it. One of the blades of the drone was damaged. The entire area is being searched. The drone will be analyzed," Prabhakar Joshi told reporters.
However, it wasn't the first instance of a Pakistani drone trying to make an illegal entry into India.
