ISLAMABAD, June 6 (Xinhua) -- The Pakistan army said late Friday that it has shot down an Indian spying quadcopter along the Line of Control (LoC) in the disputed Kashmir region.
The quadcopter had intruded 500 meters on Pakistan's side of the LoC, the army's media wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations said, adding that this is the eighth Indian quadcopter shot down by Pakistan army troops this year.
Earlier, Pakistan army said on May 27 and May 29 respectively that it had shot down an Indian spying quadcopter along the LoC after it committed airspace violation.
Pakistan and India had declared ceasefire along the LoC, the de facto border between both countries in the disputed Kashmir region in 2003. However, both sides routinely exchange fire and accuse each other of ceasefire violations.
Tension has been heightened after India lifted the special status for the Indian-controlled Kashmir in August 2019. Pakistan downgraded its diplomatic relations, suspended trade relations and train service with India in response. Enditem
