AMRITSAR: The Border Security Force (BSF) on Friday shot down a drone while it was entering from Pakistan into Indian territory near Dhanoe Kalan village in Punjab's Amritsar Sector.

The black colour quadcopter recovered by the BSF was a ‘Made in China' DJI Matrice - 300 drone, it said.

The BSF troops deployed at the border heard a buzzing sound at around 1.15 am of a suspected flying object or drone entering from the Pakistani side into the Indian territory.
