Army troops opened fire to bring down a Pakistani drone which entered the Indian side from across the Line of Control in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir early on Wednesday, officials said.

However, the drone returned to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir after hovering briefly over an area near the border fence in Mendhar sector, they said.

The troops picked up the movement of the drone around 1 am and fired nearly a dozen rounds.
