BSF shoots drone along Pakistan border in Punjab
The Border Security Force (BSF) has shot down a drone along the India-Pakistan border in Punjab, the force said on Saturday.
The Chinese-made drone was “detected and downed” on Friday around 11:10 pm near the Wan border post in the Ferozepur sector, it said in a statement.
The black colour flying object was shot at a distance of about 300 metres from the international border and 150 metres from the border fence, the BSF said.
It said the drone, a hexa-copter with four power batteries, weighed around 23 kgs and could carry a payload of around 10 kgs.
It was, however, not carrying any payload like drugs, arms or ammunition.
