Just a week ago, the subcontinent celebrated the historic meeting between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Pakistani counterpart, Nawaz Shariff. It was meant to be the beginning of a new chapter in the relationship between the countries. But one week on and it seems that ties haven't moved forward at all.

A statement from the Pakistan military to the BBC states, "An Indian spy drone was shot down by Pakistani troops which intruded into Pakistan along near Bhimber today. The spy drone is used for aerial photography."


India for its part has vehemently denied any claims of spying, saying the drone doesn't even belong to the Indian Army.

"Some reports of a drone crash in PoK are being referred to. No drone or UAV crash of the Indian Army has taken place," the spokesperson told the Press Trust of India news agency.


Initial reports say that the drone pictured is a Chinese made DJI Phantom 3, and India doesn't buy drones from China.



Furthermore, reports from IBNLive claim that such drones are used by Pakistan's Punjab Police to monitor. If this were true it could be an embarrassing incident for Pakistan. For now it looks like there's no country for drones.
