Pakistan Army shoots down Indian quadcopter along LoC

Rawalpindi (Web Desk): Pakistan has successfully shot down an Indian quadcopter along the line of control (LoC) thwarting a violation of its airspace.

According to security sources, the enemy attempted to conduct surveillance using a quadcopter in the Bhimber area's Manawar Sector.

“Pakistan Army, through timely action, foiled this nefarious attempt by the enemy,” they said.
This incident is a clear testimony to the vigilance, professional skill and defensive preparedness of Pakistan Army.

Security sources said Pakistan Army is always ready to give an immediate and effective response to any aggression from the enemy.

The entire nation stands united with the Armed Forces to give a befitting response to the enemy on every front.

A deadly attack in Pahalgam, located in Indian-Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), has sharply escalated tensions between South Asia’s two nuclear-armed neighbours.

The attack, which took place on April 22, resulted in the deaths of 26 individuals, most of whom were tourists. It stands as one of the most lethal incidents in the region in over two decades.

On April 23, India announced on April 23 the unilateral suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT)—a landmark water-sharing accord mediated by the World Bank in 1960.

Despite enduring multiple wars and diplomatic crises, the treaty has remained a rare symbol of cooperation between the two nations.

In retaliation, Pakistan declared on April 24 its intention to consider suspending the Simla Agreement of 1972, a foundational framework for bilateral relations, and warned of the potential closure of its airspace to Indian aircraft.

While Indian authorities have hinted at possible cross-border involvement in orchestrating the Pahalgam attack, no definitive evidence has been released to support such claims.

Pakistan, for its part, has categorically denied any involvement and has called for an independent international inquiry to ascertain the facts surrounding the incident.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif emphasized the importance of transparency and impartial investigation, underscoring Pakistan’s stance that regional stability should not be undermined by unsubstantiated accusations.
