India : India’s border police said on Tuesday they had shot down a drone from Pakistan near Amritsar city, the latest alleged incident of increased drone use by the rival nations against each other.
The Border Security Force said it shot the hexacopter late on Monday inside Indian territory near the village of Chaharpur, about 40km from Amritsar city, and found a suspected haul of drugs attached to it.
The BSF said the drone, weighing about 18kg, was carrying 3kg polythene bags of white powder when it was found damaged in farmland.
The UAV incident came just four days after troops claimed to have shot down another drone in the region.
