Srinagar, August 28

A Pakistani UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) violated the Indian airspace in north Kashmir’s Nowgam sector today.

Defence sources, however, said the UAV after crossing over from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir into the Nowgam sector, 120 km northwest of Srinagar, returned back immediately.

“There was an airspace violation by Pakistan in the Nowgam sector and the UAV remained in our territory for a brief time,” a source said.

There have been three ceasefire violations in Nowgam in the past two months, leaving a Junior Commissioned Officer and two BSF jawans dead.
