“Pakistan has successfully shot down an Indian quadcopter along the Line of Control, thwarting a violation of its airspace,” PTV reported, citing unnamed military sources. There was no reaction from New Delhi on the claim as of 1200GMT.

Pakistan’s army said it shot down an Indian spy drone along their disputed border in the Kashmir region, as tensions rise over last week’s militant attacks that killed 26 people.

The Indian army also said that both sides exchanged fire for a fifth straight night along the Line of Control (LoC), a heavily fortified zone of high-altitude Himalayan outposts.
