New Delhi, February 10: The Border Security Force (BSF) shot down another China-made drone near the India-Pakistan International Border in Punjab's Gurdaspur, the force said on Saturday. The quadcopter drone entering Indian territory from Pakistan was intercepted during its movement on the border near Rossey village in Gurdaspur district and shot down by the BSF troops in the night hours on Friday.

As per the BSF, the troops, with a quick reflex, fired at the drone and successfully shot it down soon after its interception. "The damaged drone lost control and fell on a farming field. The likely dropping area was immediately cordoned off by the BSF troops," said the BSF, which is mandated to guard the 3,323 km India-Pakistan border. Pakistani Drone Shot Down in Rajasthan: BSF Shoots Down UAV on India-Pakistan Border in Srikaranpur, Foils Narcotics Smuggling Bid (See Pics).
