Attempted drone attacks foiled in Abbottabad, Swabi and Nowshera

Security sources have reportedly that said an attempt by “Fitna al-Khawarij” militants to carry out small drone attacks in Abbottabad, Swabi and Nowshera was successfully thwarted. Information Minister Attaullah Tarar also verified the same on his X account.

According to officials, Pakistan’s anti-drone defence systems intercepted and shot down all incoming drones before they could cause any damage. No casualties or injuries were reported in the attempted attacks.

Authorities said security remains on high alert, and measures are in place to counter any further threats.

Last night Pakistan launched Operation Ghazab lil-Haq in response to what it described as unprovoked firing by the Afghan Taliban across the border. The Pakistan Air Force carried out airstrikes on military installations in Kabul, Kandahar and Paktia, with Afghanistan’s Taliban authorities acknowledging the strikes.

Political leaders, including President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and opposition PTI figures, have expressed unified support for the armed forces, vowing to defend territorial integrity. Defence Minister Khawaja Asif accused the Taliban of acting as a proxy to export terrorism. DG ISPR Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry is set to brief the media at 4pm.
