India-Pak Tension Not Easing as Pakistani Drone Incursions Continue: Sources
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Several forays into Indian airspace have been made by Pakistani drones all along the international border between the two countries in recent weeks following an Indian air strike against alleged terror camps at Balakot in Pakistan, New Delhi said.
Two drones crossed over Indian Territory in the Sri Ganganagar area in the Indian state of Rajasthan on Sunday night, India's Defense Ministry sources said.
Although no bombing by the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) took place, the Indian Army believes they transgressed the international border on a surveillance mission.
"Drone intrusion occurred last evening (Sunday). But no bombs were dropped in Sri Ganganagar. The Pakistani drone was likely on surveillance mission", army sources told Sputnik.
On Saturday, the Indian Army shot down two Pakistani UAVs in Sri Ganganagar area after violating Indian airspace.
"One UAV intrusion was reported in Ganganagar sector at around 7.30 pm. The drone was engaged and brought down", media reports quoted Colonel Sombit Ghosh, public relations officer of defense, as saying.
