In May, two quadcopters were reportedly shot down within the same week.
Following the shooting down of the two drones that had crossed over within the same weeek, Director-General ISPR Major General Babar Iftikhar had warned India that Pakistan would respond with full might to any misadventure and that it should “not play with fire”.
