Border security force (BSF) on Saturday shot down a Pakistani drone carrying weapons in Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua district.

Police sources said at about 5.10 a.m. on Saturday morning, BSF troopers spotted a Pakistani drone over the Panesar outpost on the international border in Kathua district.

"On examination of the payload of the shot down drone, a US made M-4 rifle, two magazines, 60 rounds of ammunition and seven grenades were found.

The width of the drone from blade to blade was 8 feet.
