The ISPR chief also tweeted pictures of the wreckage which, he said, had been seized by the Army, reports Dawn news. There were no immediate details as to how deep the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) had intruded into the Pakistani side of the LoC. On 19 November, 206, a UAV was downed in the same sector when it had intruded 60 metres into Pakistani airspace.
