On Wednesday night, one individual lost their life after the Pakistan Army intercepted Indian drones, amid escalating tensions between the two nations following unprovoked airstrikes by New Delhi.
Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR), stated in a press conference today, ‘India executed yet another overt military aggression against Pakistan by deploying Herap drones at various sites last night.’ He added, ‘One of the drones from India targeted a military installation in Lahore, resulting in injuries to four Pakistani military personnel and some infrastructural damage. Additionally, one civilian was killed in Miano.’
The spokesperson reported that the Pakistan Army successfully shot down 12 Indian drones across multiple locations within Pakistan. ‘Debris from these drones is currently being retrieved from Lahore, Gujranwala, Chakwal, Rawalpindi, Attock, Miano, Chor, and areas near Karachi,’ the DG ISPR noted.
He also recalled that the Indian military had previously suffered the ‘destruction of five of their aircraft and incurred significant casualties along the Line of Control.’ He remarked that India has ‘clearly lost its way,’ stating, ‘Instead of pursuing a rational approach, it is escalating tensions in a highly volatile environment to appease the arrogant mindset of the Indian government.’
The DG ISPR assured that ‘the Pakistan armed forces remain fully alert to any potential threats, and I will provide further updates as they become available.’
In related news, at least 31 individuals were reported martyred and 57 injured due to Indian missile strikes at six locations in Pakistan during the early hours of Wednesday.
