Rajouri (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], April 13 : The Indian Army shot down a Pakist drone and recovered 131 rounds of AK-47 along the Line of Control in the Sunderb sector of Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district, officials said on Thursday.

"A drone intruding into Indian territory by crossing the Line of Control from Pakistan (side) was shot down on the intervening night of April 12-13, in the Beri Pattan area of the Sundarb sector of Rajouri," PRO Defence Jammu said.

Earlier on April 1, the Border Security Forces opened fire at a drone allegedly belonging to Pakistan, forcing it to return to the neighbouring country.
