The Border Security Force (BSF) has said that it shot down a drone along the India-Pakistan border in Punjab on Friday. The Chinese-made drone was downed on Friday around 11:10 PM near the Wan border post in the Ferozepur sector.
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 force said in a statement.
According to the BSF, the drone was a hexa-copter with four power batteries, and weighed around 23 kg which could carry a payload of around 10 kg.
It was, however, not carrying any payload like drugs, arms or ammunition.
The BSF said that a search operation is being carried out in the incident area. The border guarding force, in the past, has shot down two such drones that originated in Pakistan and were carrying arms and ammunition.
