Taliban launch border strikes as Pakistan shoots down four drones

Islamabad – The Pakistan Armed Forces announced that its air defence units intercepted and destroyed four rudimentary unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that entered Pakistani airspace earlier today. The military briefed that the drones were identified as low‑tech surveillance platforms and were neutralised before they could reach any sensitive installations.

In a statement released after the operation, senior officials warned that any further incursions would be met with a decisive response, underscoring heightened vigilance amid ongoing regional security concerns. The incident adds to a series of recent aerial alerts along Pakistan’s borders, prompting the armed forces to reinforce monitoring and engagement protocols.
