"On a day, when terrorists from Pakistan carry out an attack in Gurdaspur, the Pakistani Army issues a statement on the alleged increase of violations by India on the LoC. It is funny," Army sources said.

Asked about the Pakistani army's release of pictures showing footage of a drone shot down on July 15, purportedly showing Indian territory, the sources said "it is fabricated and a part of the misinformation campaign."

A Pakistan military spokesman had alleged that the visuals retrieved out of the drone indicate that the Quadcopter flew from a Indian post.

Sources drove attention to Chinese media reports which have said that the drone was never sold to India.
