New Delhi: A drone was seen over the Indian High Commission compound in Islamabad, sources said today. India has registered its strong protest with Pakistan over the safety breach, they said. This sighting at the Indian facility in Islamabad comes amid heightened tensions over a drone attack on an air force base in Jammu and Kashmir last week.
The technology utilized in Sunday’s drone strikes on the Indian Air Force base indicate “state support” and therefore the involvement of Pakistan-based terror groups Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba, general officer DP Pandey, Corps Commander of the 15 Corps in Srinagar, told NDTV on Wednesday.
The security breach by the drone at the high-security Indian High Commission inside Pakistani soil is probably going to worsen things .
Over the past few years there are reports of Pakistan using drones to drop weapons across the border. The Border private security force (BSF) has frequently reported drone sightings and has shot down some within the previous couple of months.
In Punjab in August 2019, a crashed drone was found during a village in Amritsar. the subsequent month, terrorists arrested by security forces allegedly revealed drugs and weapons had been dropped within the state over eight separate drone flights.
