India rejects Pak allegation of airspace violation
Saturday, February 1 2003 21:57 Hrs (IST)

New Delhi: India on February 1 night described as "baseless" a Pakistani claim that an Indian Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) had violated its airspace in Pakistan- occupied Kashmir.

"No Indian UAV violated Pakistani airspace. The report is absolutely baseless and a figment of imagination," a Defence Ministry spokesman said.

For the second time in a week, a Pakistani military statement claimed "the Indian remote piloted vehicle entered Pakistani airspace in Shaqma sector on the line of control".

The plane was forced back by the Pakistan Army on January 30, the statement said.

India had denied such a claim by Pakistan on January 28 too.
