An Indian surveillance drone was seized in the Jandiala Road area of Manawan, Lahore, police said on Friday.
According to SP Cantt Qazi Ali Raza, the drone was a hexacopter model and has been taken into custody by local authorities. Initial findings suggest the drone originated from across the border, he added.
SP Raza further stated that sensitive intelligence agencies have launched a detailed investigation, and more facts are expected to emerge following a thorough probe.
Earlier, the Pakistan Army effectively intercepted and downed an Indian quadcopter which had entered the country’s airspace over the Line of Control in the Manawar sector of Bhimber.
The drone was intended to be used for reconnaissance, said security officials, but the timely and accurate action by the army foiled the attempt.
