Jaipur, March 9: With the tensions between India and Pakistan are deescalating, a Pakistani Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) was seen intruding in Sri Ganganagar sector of Rajasthan at around 1930 hours on Saturday. Taking immediate action, the Indian Army engaged itself in spotting the drone and brought the drone down. This is the fourth such attempt by Pakistan, after the Rajouri air face-off, in which IAF Wing Commander Abhinandan shot down PAF’s F-16 fighter jet with his MiG21.

Earlier in the day, another Pakistani drone was spotted in the same region and across the Rajasthan border, but returned after its detection by BSF (Border Security Force). Taking immediate action, the BSF tried to shoot the flying object down; however, it returned to Pakistani aerospace. Rajasthan: Pakistani Drone Attempts to Enter Indian Territory, Returns After BSF Tries to Shoot It Down. 

Also, at around 5 am, a similar drone tried to enter Indian territory through Hindumalkot border near Sriganganagar, but the drone had to take u-turn as it was sighted by troopers who started firing. Earlier on Monday, the Indian Air Force (IAF) shot down the neighbouring country's drone at the Bikaner Nal sector area with Sukhoi 30MKI fighter jet.

In the meantime, the Pakistani Army is continuously violating the ceasefire across the border in Jammu and Kashmir’s Line of Control (LoC) areas. On Friday, the ceasefire violation took place in Shahpur and Kerni sectors of Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district, which got a befitting answer from the Indian armed forces.
