The Pakistan Army shot down two Indian surveillance quadcopters on Tuesday along the Line of Control (LoC), exposing repeated ceasefire violations and provocative actions by Indian forces, security sources revealed.
According to official reports, the first incident occurred in the Manawar sector of Bhimber district, where a drone operated by India’s 5 Assam Regiment was downed. Just hours later, another Indian quadcopter was intercepted and destroyed in the Satwal sector while attempting to spy inside Pakistani territory.
'India’s provocations increasing tensions'
Security and defense experts have warned that India’s repeated and irresponsible military actions, especially along a sensitive border like the LoC, are deliberate attempts to sabotage peace in the region.
“These intrusions are not accidental. They reflect India’s aggressive posturing and are aimed at heightening tensions with Pakistan at a time when political narratives are being weaponized across the border,” one senior defense analyst noted.
Army’s swift and professional response
The incidents have been hailed as proof of the Pakistan Army’s vigilance, defense preparedness, and professional competence.
“This swift action shows that Pakistan’s armed forces are fully alert and capable of responding effectively to any form of aggression,” said a defense official. “Our military remains committed to safeguarding national sovereignty and maintaining peace, but any violation will be met with a befitting and effective response.”

The drone incidents come shortly after Pakistan’s strong rejection of Indian allegations in the Pahalgam attack, which killed 26 people in Indian-occupied Kashmir. Senior Pakistani officials and analysts, including Najam Sethi, have called the Pahalgam attack a false flag operation aimed at influencing public sentiment ahead of Indian elections.
Earlier in the day, Pakistan Army had shot down an Indian quadcopter after it allegedly violated Pakistan’s airspace along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Manawar sector of Bhimber district. According to the security officials, the Indian quadcopter was attempting surveillance when it was intercepted and brought down by Pakistan Army troops.
"The timely action by Pakistan Army thwarted the enemy’s nefarious attempt to spy across the border," the sources said, adding that the incident once again demonstrated the Army’s "professionalism, readiness, and defensive preparedness."
