Pakistan army says Indian spy drone shot down in Kashmir
Associated PressMUZAFFARABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan’s military on Sunday said it shot down a small Indian spy drone that flew hundreds of meters into Pakistani-administered Kashmir, the ninth such downing of an Indian drone this year. The military statement said the drone was shot down in the Hot Spring border village of Kashmir, the disputed Himalayan region divided between India and Pakistan and claimed by both in its entirety. Pakistan often claims the downing of unmanned Indian spy drones in Kashmir, where the two sides often trade fire as well. The two countries have been on maximum alert since February 2019, when Pakistan said it shot down two Indian warplanes in Kashmir and captured a pilot, in response to an airstrike by Indian aircraft targeting militants inside Pakistan.
