These drones are flown by Indian forces to spy on the Pakistani positions.
The latest Indian provocations came minutes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi stepped up rhetoric saying in an interview on New Year’s Day that “it would mistake to expect Pakistan to mend its ways anytime soon”.
In a quick rejoinder, Pakistan’s Foreign Office denounced Modi’s rhetoric saying “such statements made no difference”.
