Pakistan Army shoots down Indian spying quadcopter

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Army shot down an Indian spying quadcopter on Tuesday after it violated Pakistani airspace along the Line of Control (LoC).

According to security sources, the Indian spying quadcopter drone entered the Munawar Sector in Bhimber district of Azad Jammu and Kashmir for surveillance purposes when it was intercepted and destroyed.

“Timely action by our forces foiled the enemy’s nefarious attempt,” a security official said, adding that the swift response demonstrated the Pakistan Army’s operational readiness and defensive capabilities.

“This successful engagement stands as clear proof of the Pakistan Army’s expertise and defensive preparedness,” the official stated further. Security sources reiterated that Pakistani forces remain vigilant and fully capable of delivering a “swift and effective response” to any aggression from the adversary.

“The entire nation stands united with its armed forces to give a befitting reply to the enemy on all fronts,” the official maintained.

Earlier, the Defence Minister Khawaja Asif issued a stark warning regarding escalating tensions with India, stating that the next two to four days were critical for national security.

Defence Minister warns of ‘forceful response’ to any Indian aggression

He stated that any violation of Pakistan’s land, air, or sea borders would be met with a forceful response. “We have taken the steps that should been taken. If they try to impose war, we will response forcefully”.

The Defence Minister’s comment comes amid heightened fears on infiltration or military action from India, particularly following the recent Pahalgam attack in Indian-occupied Kashmir, in which 26 men were killed.

Khawaja Asif assured that Pakistan’s three armed forces were fully prepared to protect the nation.
The Defence Minister noted that various countries, including China, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf nations, were actively working to avert any looming threat. “If something has to happen in two or four days, it will happen; otherwise, the threat will be averted”, he added.
