IAF jets shoot down Pakistani drone that crossed border in Rajasthan
The Indian Air Force shot down an unidentified flying object that was detected over the Indo-Pak International Border in Rajasthan this morning. Top defence sources said that the unidentified aircraft, likely a drone, entered Indian airspace at around 11:30am.

The Indian Air Force scrambled fighter jets in response. The jets shot down the Pakistani aircraft with air-to-air missiles. The debris of the Pakistani aircraft fell on Pakistani sand dune near a feature called MW Toba.
Interestingly, just before news broke in India of the Indian Air Force shooting the Pakistani aircraft, Pakistani Twitter exploded with speculation that Indian Air Force had carried out another airstrike, this time across the Rajasthan border.
Several Twitter handles tweeted photos of a broken metal object, saying that it the debris of bombs that Indian Air Force jets had dropped in Fort Abbas in Pakistan's Punjab.
On February 26, the Indian Air Force crossed the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir and bombed a terrorist camp located in Pakistan's Balakot.
The airstrike, carried out by 12 Mirage 2000 fighter jets, targetted a camp run by the Jaish-e-Mohammad, which was responsible for the February 14 Pulwama terror attack.
A day later, Pakistani jets attempted to target Indian military installations in Jammu and Kashmir. They were met by Indian MiG-21 jets, which engaged the Pakistani F-16s in a dogfight.
The Indian jets shot down an F-16 but IAF also lost one of its MiG-21s. That MiG-21's pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman ended up in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and was taken into custody by the Pakistani army.
Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman was released two days later in what Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan said was a "peace gesture".
At least 40 personnel of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) were killed in a suicide bombing attack in the Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir in India on Feb. 14, 2019. Here is a timeline of the attack and its aftermath
