The Indian Air Force (IAF) on Monday (4 March) shot down a Pakistani drone which had violated Indian air space, ANI has reported.
As per the report, the Indian air defence radars detected the presence of the Pakistani drone in Bikaner’s Nal sector area near the India-Pakistan border.
Soon after the detection the IAF scrambled a Sukhoi SU-30MKI, which then shot down the target using an air to air missile. This encounter is reported to have taken place at about 11.30 AM.
As per journalist Shiv Aroor, the drone’s debris fell in Pakistan’s desert area known as MW Toba.
Incidentally, on 26 February after the IAF air strikes in Balakot, a Pakistani drone was shot down in Gujarat’s Kutch region after it intruded into the Indian territory.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
