In the Sindh province, one civilian died and another was injured due to the fall of drone debris. According to military spokesperson Sharif, several Harop drones, manufactured by the Israeli company IAI, caused damage at a military site near Lahore and left four soldiers injured. Another drone crashed in Rawalpindi. The armed forces are neutralizing these drones.
The Harop drones are part of the Indian military arsenal and combine the capabilities of a drone and a missile, being able to operate at long distances. In Lahore, a drone was shot down near Walton Airport. Other drones were shot down in different cities of Punjab. In Chakwal, a drone crashed in farmland in a disputed area between India and Pakistan.
The Pakistan army reported that India fired attack drones at Pakistan, resulting in 25 drones being shot down. This incident occurred after a missile attack left civilians dead in Pakistan. India accused Pakistan of supporting the insurgents responsible for the attack, which Islamabad denies.
Tensions between India and Pakistan have intensified, prompting the evacuation of thousands of people in the Kashmir region. This is the worst confrontation between the two nations since 2019. The Prime Minister of Pakistan vowed to avenge the deaths, raising fears of a broader conflict between the two nuclear-armed countries.
The relationship between India and Pakistan, marked by conflict and distrust, has deteriorated in recent weeks. Both countries have suffered civilian and military casualties, creating concern over an escalation of the conflict. Flights remain suspended at several airports in India and Pakistan due to the tension in the region.
