Pakistan Army Downs Indian Drone in Barnala Sector

Tensions between Pakistan and India escalated further as the Pakistan Army reportedly shot down an Indian drone that violated Pakistani airspace in the Barnala sector, according to security sources.

The drone, believed to be conducting a reconnaissance mission, was intercepted and destroyed by Pakistani forces, sending a clear message against any further provocations.

Earlier, Pakistan’s security sources confirmed the downing of two Indian fighter jets, including a Rafale and an SU-30, in the Bathinda and Akhnoor regions of India, as hostilities between the two nuclear-armed nations rapidly intensified.

This incident is part of a series of military exchanges that have occurred following cross-border strikes earlier in the day.

Information Minister Atta Tarar affirmed that Pakistan’s swift actions, including the downing of two Indian jets, were in response to India’s recent aggression. He also reiterated that Pakistan had no involvement in the Pulwama attack and emphasized the country’s ongoing commitment to fighting terrorism.
