“After straying into Indian air space, the helicopter withdrew,” an official said.

Air sentries at forward location had engaged it with small arms, he said.

He said it was most likely a civilian chopper and was flying very high.

Three forward posts fired small arms after noticing the airspace violation, the sources said.
