ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Army on Saturday shot down Indian drone near Line of Control in Azad Kashmir. Inter Services Public Relations Director General Lieutenant General Asim Bajwa said in a statement the Indian quad copter has been shot down by Pakistani troops at 1645hrs. The soldiers took it in custody after it fell on the Pakistan soil. The Indian unmanned aircraft had intruded 60 meters in Pakistani side of Line of Control. Defence sources said the drone was sent for spying but the Pakistani troops deployed at Agahi Post in Rukhchakri Sector shot it down. On November 14, an Indian submarine made a botched attempt to enter Pakistani waters, but the Pakistan Navy foiled it. The Pakistan Navy said it had prevented Indian Navy submarine from entering Pakistani territorial waters on November 14. “In order to divert attention from the indigenous freedom movement in Indian Occupied Kashmir, India has persistently embarked upon a series of provocative actions against Pakistan,” a press statement issued by Pakistan Navy said. “The Indian Navy, in order to fulfill its nefarious designs, was deploying submarines. The Pakistan Navy, alert and using its extreme skill, prevented Indian submarine from entering Pakistani waters,” it said. “The unsuspecting submarine was detected and localised south of Pakistani coast on Nov 14,” it said, and added, “Navy fleet units detected the presence of Indian submarines in the southern parts of Pakistani waters, mimicked their behaviour and restricted their activity.” The spokesman said despite Indian submarine’s desperate efforts to escape detection, it was continuously tracked by Pakistan Navy fleet units and pushed well clear of Pakistani waters. “Pakistan Navy once again proved its vigilance and operational competence by detecting and blocking the Indian submarine from entering Pakistani waters. This is proof of Pakistan Navy’s extremely skilled anti-submarine warfare units,” the navy said. “The Pakistan Navy is fully prepared to defend its borders and capable of responding to any aggression befittingly.”
