Pakistan says it shot down Indian drone along Kashmir border
- Pakistan reported on Tuesday that its military intercepted and destroyed an Indian drone over the area of Azad Jammu and Kashmir close to the contested border region amidst escalating tensions between the two nations.
- The drone incident followed a deadly April 22 attack in Indian-administered Kashmir that killed 26 people, which India blamed on Pakistan-backed militants.
- Since the attack, both nations exchanged gunfire along the heavily fortified Line of Control and expelled diplomats, escalating the conflict.
- The United Nations and several countries including China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Turkey, and the US urged both nations to exercise restraint and pursue dialogue to prevent escalation.
- The shooting down of the drone and ongoing exchanges reflect deepening hostilities that heighten risks of wider military conflict between the nuclear-armed neighbors.
